Last rites ,abreviated form

[revkhbostic]

The Book of Common Prayer, Episcopal,has Daily Morning Prayer Service.

 

It starts off with  a bit of scripture,then the confession of sin/a General confession as opposed to" I did this n that n the other thing",specifically, as in Catholic Confessionals.

The General Confession,& can be used as Last Rites:

"Almighty & most merciful Father,

we have erred & strayed from thy ways like lost sheep,

we have followed too much the devices& desires of our own hearts,

we have offended against thy holy laws,we have left undone those things which we ought to have done,

& done those things which we ought not to have done,

But thou, O Lord,have mercy upon us,

spare thou tose who confess their faults,

restore thou those who are penitent,

according to thy promises declared unto mankind,

in Christ Jesus our Lord;

& grant ,O most mercifu Father,for his sake,

that we may hereafter live a Godly,righteous,& sober life,

to the glory of thy holy Name.Amen.

 

Absolution,:

                     The Almighty & merciful Lord grant you absolution & remission of all your sins ,

true repentance,amendment of life,,

& the grace & consolation of his holy spirit.Amen."

[you should make a good act of contrition to the best of your ability ,where you may have harmed someone...]
