"Let us confess to God and to one another that we stand in need of forgiveness from Him and from our fellows, calling to mind our particular and our common faults. We name our self-indulgence, our prayerlessness, our enmities. We name our failures in the State, the dispeace of the world, the poverty and hunger of millions of people, and the constant strife of people with people. Let us together make our humble confession before Almighty God."
