Gracious Heavenly Father, we enter this day of Your last supper on this world. As we commemorate and partake in the Holy Eucharist, we introspect ourselves and confess our (my) sins with a truthful heart.
Lord, You set Yourself as a role mode for humility and humbleness, by washing the feet of Your disciples. But, we (I) have not reflected the same to our (my) neighbour. Pardon us (me) for this wrongdoing.
Lord, we (I) did not reflect this humility to our (my) neighbour on many occasions and was not true to our (my) prayer of confession we (I) offered every time we (I) joined the fellowship through Holy Communion, that," we (I) have sinned against You and our (my) neighbour."
Pardon us (me) for this betrayal.
Lord, may we (I) understand Your love and forgiveness You bought us (me) by Your death and resurrection. Give us (me) the confidence that You forgave our (my) trespasses. You being our Helper, may we (I) reflect what You have taught us (me) and be diligent in our (my) actions and words and be more like You.
Lord, let all the meditation and the learnings we received during this Lent not be forgotten and ended as we complete this season. Help us by Your Spirit to retain and reflect in the days to come.
