Act of Contrition
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry
for having offended Thee,
and I detest all my sins because of Thy
just punishments,
but most of all because they offend Thee, my
God,
Who art all-good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly
resolve, with the help of Thy grace,
to sin no more and to avoid
the near occasions of sin.
My God, I am sorry for my sins
with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good,
I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things.
I
firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more,
and
to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ
suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy.
O my God, I am sorry for my
sins because I have offended you.
I know I should love you above
all things.
Help me to do penance, to do better,
and to avoid
anything that might lead me to sin.
Amen.
