Confession: Loving God, you have planted us like a vineyard on a fertile hill. You cleared away the stones, planted it with choice vines, and kept watch over us by night and day. But we have not yielded the good fruit that you expected or desired. We are overgrown with sin, violence, and injustice. Forgive us, we pray. Uproot our evil, prune away our sin, and shower upon us the gift of your grace, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
