Collect for Lent

Almighty and everlasting God,
you hate nothing that you have made,
and forgive the sins of all those who are penitent.
Create and make in us new and contrite hearts,
that, lamenting our sins
and acknowledging our wretchedness
we may receive from you, the God of all mercy,
perfect forgiveness and peace;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen

Thomas Cranmer

    I know, and Cranmer had an ending as a martyr. But it is a very Presbyterian prayer! Full of unworthiness
