Invitation to Confession
Post Communion Prayer
On this day when we recall the murder of
innocent lives, let us stand before our just and
holy God, and remembering the violence and
injustice of our world, confess our sins in
penitence and faith.
Lord Jesus Christ, in your humility you have
stooped to share our human life with the most
defenceless of your children: may we who have
received these gifts of your passion rejoice in
celebrating the witness of the Holy Innocents to
the purity of your sacrifice made once for all upon
the cross; for you are alive and reign, now and for
ever.
The Collect
Heavenly Father, whose children suffered at
the hands of Herod, though they had done no
wrong: by the suffering of your Son and by
the innocence of our lives frustrate all evil
designs and establish your reign of justice and
peace; 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
for ever.
