in my secret thoughts and desires which I cannot
fully know or understand, but which you know
completely.

of the evil I have done. For the sake of your
dear Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, have mercy on
me, forgive my sins, and graciously help me in my
weakness. Amen.

pardon and forgiveness of all our sins. Amen.
