2 Chronicles 36:11-21 – Defeat and Exile

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Maker of all things, judge of all men:

we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness,

which we, from time to time, most grievously have committed,

by thought, word and deed.

Have mercy upon us, most merciful father;

for thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake,

forgive us all that is past;

and grant that we may ever hereafter

serve and please thee in newness of life,

to the honour and glory of thy name.

Amen.

(Adapted Book of Common Prayer)
