Rembrandt, Return of the Prodigal Son, 1636. Cleveland Museum of Art.
O GOD, the searcher of hearts, behold I here protest in Thy presence, that what I now design is sincerely intended for the honour of Thy name. Because I heartily desire to be delivered from the guilt of my sins, therefore I approach this preparation for Confession and Examination of Conscience, that by complying with Thy holy institutions, I may obtain Thy blessing and pardon. Enlighten my mind as to the exact state of my interior. Enable me to recollect all my offences for which I have not yet obtained pardon. May Thy holy grace assist me in the right undertaking of this great duty, as it is Thy mercy which hath called me to its performance.
