Prayer
of Confession for Memorial Day
God
of every nation, as we remember those that gave their life for our sake, let us
be stirred to action in their memory. We confess that we have not done all that
is possible to promote peace and justice in our world. We have not loved
our neighbors, let alone our enemies. Forgive us for failing to live up
to your commandments. Empower us to work for your Kingdom in this world, and
welcome us by your grace into your Kingdom in the next. Amen.
