Almighty God, we rejoice in Christ our saviour who stands as our great high priest. May we cling on to him as our true representative, truly man and not unable to sympathise with our weakness, but may we cling with great confidence because he is not beset with that weakness as we are, for he is truly God and he conquered every sin, triumphing over all temptation. Gracious Lord, we confidently call out for mercy, knowing our desperate need of forgiveness and knowing that we can draw so near through Christ. May we rest in your grace and know you as our loving Father in heaven.
Amen
