In the Blood of the Lamb

Confession, and Pardon.

Anselm:

O Almighty and merciful Father, you pour your benefits upon us — forgive the unthankfulness with which we have requited your goodness. We have remained before you with dead and senseless hearts, unkindled with love of your gentle and enduring goodness.

Turn us, O merciful Father, and so shall we be turned.
Make us with our whole heart to hunger and thirst after you,
and with all our longing to desire you.

Amen.

Revelation 7:13-14

 Then one of the elders asked me, “Who are these people in white robes, and where did they come from?”

I said to him, “Sir, you know.”

Then he told me: These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
