Collect [No Kyrie or Gloria]: Let us pray for grace to keep Lent faithfully.. Silence is kept Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing that you have made and forgive the sins of all those who are penitent: create and make in us new and contrite hearts that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may receive from you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness: through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Choir: To thee, Redeemer, on thy throne of glory; lift we our weeping eyes in holy pleadings; listen, O Jesu, to our supplications. All: Hear us O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have sinned against thee. Gospel : John 8.1-11 After the sermon [No Creed & Intercessions] : Self Examination and Confession All kneel Let us now call to mind our sin and the infinite mercy of God. God the Father, All have mercy upon us. God the Son, All have mercy upon us. God the Holy Spirit, All have mercy upon us. Holy, blessed and glorious Trinity, All have mercy upon us. From all evil and mischief; from pride, vanity and hypocrisy ; from envy, hatred and malice; and from all evil intent, All good Lord, deliver us. From sloth, worldliness and love of money; from hardness of heart
and contempt for your word and your laws, All good Lord, deliver us. From sins of body and mind; from the deceits of the world, the flesh and the devil, All good Lord, deliver us. In all times of sorrow; in all times of joy; In the hour of death, and at the day of judgement, All good Lord, deliver us. By the mystery of your holy incarnation; by your birth, childhood and obedience; by your baptism, fasting and temptation, All good Lord, deliver us. By your ministry in word and work; by your mighty acts of power; and by your preaching of the kingdom, All good Lord, deliver us. By your agony and trial; by your cross and passion; and by your precious death and burial, All good Lord, deliver us. By your mighty resurrection; by your glorious ascension; and by your sending of the Holy Spirit, All good Lord, deliver us. Give us true repentance; Forgive us our sins of negligence and ignorance and our deliberate sins; and grant us the grace of your Holy Spirit to amend our lives according to your holy word. All Holy God holy and strong, holy and immortal, have mercy upon us Silence is kept Make our hearts clean, O God All and renew a right spirit within us All Father eternal, giver of light and grace, we have sinned against you and against our neighbour, in what we have thought, in what we have said and done, through ignorance, through weakness, through our own deliberate fault. We have wounded your love, and marred your image in us. We are sorry and ashamed, and repent of all our sins. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, who died for us, forgive us all that is past; and lead us out from darkness to walk as children of light. Amen. The Imposition of Ashes Dear friends in Christ, I invite you to receive these ashes as a sign of the spirit of penitence with which we shall keep this season of Lent. God our father, you create us from the dust of the earth: grant that these ashes may be for us a sign of our penitence and a symbol of our mortality: for it is by your grace alone that we receive eternal life in Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen. The people come to the communion rail to receive the Imposition of Ashes and then return to their seats. When the Imposition is completed Absolution is given, for which all kneel. The Lord enrich you with his grace, and nourish you with his blessing; the Lord defend you in trouble and keep you from all evil; the Lord accept your prayers and absolve you from your offences, for the sake of Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Amen. The Service now continues on page 5 of the book
