People The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia.
In Lent and on other penitential occasions
Celebrant Bless the Lord who forgives all our sins;
People His mercy endures for ever.
The Celebrant may say
Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known,
and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our
hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may
perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name;
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
