For Lent 2026, here is a sample of a call and response that we're going through and offer up for you to use for prayer and repentance
A Lent Litany of Penitence
For all our unfaithfulness and
disobedience; for the pride, vanity,
and hypocrisy of our lives;
Reader: Lord, have mercy upon us:
People: For we have sinned against you.
For our self-pity and impatience,
and our envy of those we think
more fortunate than ourselves;
Reader: Lord, have mercy upon us:
People: For we have sinned against you.
For our unrighteous anger,
bitterness, and resentment;
for all lies, gossip, and slander
against our neighbors;
Reader: Lord, have mercy upon us:
People: For we have sinned against you.
For our self-indulgent appetites and
ways, and our intemperate pursuit
of worldly goods and comforts;
Reader: Lord, have mercy upon us:
People: For we have sinned against you.
For our dishonesty in daily life and
work, our ingratitude for your gifts,
and our failure to heed your call.
Reader: Lord, have mercy upon us:
People: For we have sinned against you.
