I'm Sorry God
God wraps us in his love each day,
Speaks gently to us on our way.
Even when we disobey
God’s love is always there,
God loves us every day.
Sometimes God I do not care,
I’m selfish and I do not share.
I’m sorry, God,
Now I’ve come to know.
Sometimes, God, I tell a lie,
Or hurt my friends and make them cry.
I’m sorry, God,
Now I’ve come to know.

I’m sorry, God,
Now I’ve come to know.
Sometimes, God, I tell a lie,
Or hurt my friends and make them cry.

Now I’ve come to know.
Zacchaeus
Zacchaeus was a greedy little man,
He cheated all the people in the land.
When the rent they did not pay,
He would take their lands away
And their furniture and everything they had.
Zacchaeus, Zacchaeus, nobody liked Zacchaeus,
Zacchaeus, Zacchaeus, Zacchaeus was a greedy little man.
One day he heard that Jesus was in town
A man who loved just ev'ryone around
So, he climbed the highest tree,
For he found it hard to see, such a little man was he
Then Jesus came along that very way,
And full of love the people heard him say,
To Zacchaeus in the tree, "Won’t you please come down to me,
For I’d love to share a meal with you today.

Prayer after confession
Lord Jesus, we are better friends
Better than before.
Help me now to meet my friends
And love them even more.
CONFITEOR
I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
(all strike their breast and say:)
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore, I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the angels and saints,
and you, my brothers, and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.
Act of Sorrow
O my God, I thank you for loving me.
I am sorry for all my sins, for not loving others and not loving you.
Help me to live like Jesus and not sin again .
Amen
