A Prayer for the Lord’s Day, March 8 (based on Psalm 32)

MERCIFUL FATHER, who desirest not the death, but rather the life and amendment, of  the sinner, extend thy grace, mercy and goodness to us, and bury all our iniquities, that, being guarded with thy goodness, we may rejoice in thee, living in all uprightness, as we are instructed by thy Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
