GODGod the Father of mercies,
through the death and
resurrection of your son, you
have reconciled the world to
yourself and sent the Holy Spirit
among us for the forgiveness of

pardon and peace. And I
absolve you of your sins, in the
name of the Father, and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit.

JUDGE, THE LAWGIVER, THE
EXECUTIONER, THE ONLY ONE

AND AUTHORITY TO PARDON
THE GUILTY SINNER. AND
THAT IS THE MESSAGE OF

THROUGH CONFESSION AND

PHYSICAL AND IN THE INNER
MAN
