Anglican Ash Wednesday Collect

Almighty and everlasting God,

you hate nothing you have made

and forgive the sins of all who are penitent:

Create and make in us new and contrite hearts,

that we, worthily lamenting our sins

and acknowledging our wretchedness,

may obtain of you, the God of all mercy,

perfect remission and forgiveness;

through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns

with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
