XI. The Celebration of the Sacrament of Penance
1481
The
Byzantine Liturgy recognizes several formulas of absolution, in the form of
invocation, which admirably express the mystery of forgiveness: “May the
same God, who through the Prophet Nathan forgave David when he confessed his
sins, who forgave Peter when he wept bitterly, the prostitute when she washed
his feet with her tears, the Pharisee, and the prodigal son, through me, a
sinner, forgive you both in this life and in the next and enable you to appear
before his awe-inspiring tribunal without condemnation, he who is blessed for
ever and ever. Amen.”
