God of Peace and Order, who created all things in harmony to coexist for your divine purpose, we confess that by falling into various temptations we have distorted the covenant of harmony, both with creation and with you: have mercy on us, Lord, and help us to draw closer to you by fulfilling your purpose in our lives, that from the state of our fall you may lead us to grow deeper in faith, turning away from false voices and every form of ungodliness, fixing our eyes on your Son, Jesus Christ, who alone can save, and in whose grace we are called to live fruitful, faithful lives in a disordered world; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forevermore. Amen.
