Prayer of the Season:
Almighty and everlasting God,
because you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who
are penitent, create in us new and contrite hearts that we, worthily
repenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain from
you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness;
through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, Amen.
