Penitence and Pardon (3)
C. J. VaughanO Lord God, our Father most loving, we would not, even if we could, conceal anything from thee, but rejoice rather that thou knowest us as we are and seest every desire and every motive of our hearts. Help us, O Lord, to strip off every mask and veil when we come into thy presence, and to spread before thee every thought and every secret of our being, that they may be forgiven, purified, amended and blessed by thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
