A Litany for Forgiveness

We cry to Thee, O Lord, do Thou have mercy upon us:

And grant forgiveness.

O King of heaven, and everlasting Lord, receive the prayers which we pour forth:

And grant forgiveness.

Visit the sick—bring forth captives, help the widow and the orphan:

And grant forgiveness.

We have sinned and have departed from Thee, do Thou, who art the Redeemer of all, save us:

And grant forgiveness.

Have mercy on the penitent, and wash away the stains of sin:

And grant forgiveness. Amen. —Mozarabic Breviary
