The Western Christian understanding of “Original Sin” is, in large part, due to a mistranslation of a verse written by St Paul. Much of Protestantism doubles down on this mistranslation, teaching that humans are “totally depraved”.
O God,
we pray that your grace may always precede and follow us,
that we may continually be given to good works;
through Jesus Christ
who is alive with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

Ever-living God,
you are always more ready to hear than we to pray,
and to give more than we desire or deserve;
pour upon us the abundance of your mercy,
forgiving us those things
of which our conscience is afraid,
and giving us those things
for which our prayer dares not ask;
through Jesus Christ
who is alive with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

O God,
you declare your almighty power
above all by showing mercy and compassion;
grant us the fullness of your grace,
that we, who are running to obtain your promises,
may be partakers of your heavenly treasure;
through Jesus Christ
who is alive with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

O God,
the protector of all who trust in you,
without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy;
enfold us in your gracious care and mercy,
that with you to govern and to guide us
we may so use your gifts in this fleeting world
that we do not lose the good that is eternal;
through Jesus Christ
who is alive with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

‘The term “convert” should be reserved strictly for those converted from unbelief to Christian belief and NEVER used of baptized Christians’ – whatever their denominational background – as they commit, for example, to Roman Catholicism.
Pope Francis has written a letter to all Christians on the liturgical formation of the People of God – may it be widely read, studied, and lived – including in seminaries and theological colleges of all denominations.
