Day 197. On what basis do you ask forgiveness? (2025)

Today is day 197 and we are on the section on The Fifth Petition: "And forgive us our trespasses".

197. On what basis do you ask forgiveness?

I ask God our loving Father to forgive me through his Son, Jesus Christ, who bore my sins upon the Cross, so that through faith and Baptism I can receive his righteousness. (Isaiah 53:4–12; Daniel 9:16–19; Luke 18:9–14; Acts 2:38; 13:38–39; Romans 5:17; Hebrews 9:11–26)

We will conclude today with The Collect for Friday in Easter Week found on page 611 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
