SILENT REFLECTION
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
O God, on this day devoted to the living memory of the martyrs of the church
and to the celebration of the witness of loved ones and friends,
we confess that we have mixed feelings.
Recalling the faithfulness and courage of Christian men and women who risked,
and often sacrificed, their very lives in your Sons service
both inspires us and makes us feel wistful.
We know we dont always measure up to them, but we feel that we should --
and that we might have, if not for this or that mistake.
Loving God, help us to set aside thoughts of what we might have been,
what we might have done.
Remind us that even the most conspicuous martyrs of the church,
even the bravest saints we have known and loved, were ordinary people,
subject to the same questions about their own worth and potential.
Then help us concentrate on the present and the future:
on the things we might yet do, the persons we might yet be,
in Christs service, beginning today. Amen.
