An Act of Contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having


offended you and I detest all my sins,
because I dread the loss of heaven and
the pains of hell. But most of all because
I have offended you, my God, who are all
good and deserving of all my love. I
firmly resolve with the help of your
grace, to confess my sins, to do penance
and to amend my life. Amen.
Before Confession

Receive my confession, O most loving and


gracious Lord Jesus Christ, only hope for the
salvation of my soul. Grant to me true contrition of
soul, so that day and night I may by penance make
satisfaction for my many sins. Savior of the world,
O good Jesus, Who gave Yourself to the death of
the Cross to save sinners, look upon me, most
wretched of all sinners; have pity on me, and give
me the light to know my sins, true sorrow for
them, and a firm purpose of never committing
them again.

O gracious Virgin Mary, Immaculate Mother of


Jesus, I implore you to obtain for me by your
powerful intercession these graces from you Divine
Son.
After Confession

O almighty and most merciful God, I give You


thanks with all the powers of my soul for this and
all other mercies, graces, and blessings bestowed
on me, and prostrating myself at Your sacred feet, I
offer myself to be henceforth forever Yours. Let
nothing in life or death ever separate me from You!
I renounce with my whole soul all my treasons
against You, and all the abominations and sins of
my past life. I renew my promises made in Baptism,
and from this moment I dedicate myself eternally to
Your love and service. Grant that for the time to
come, I may detest sin more than death itself, and
avoid all such occasions and companies as have
unhappily brought me to it. This I resolve to do by
the aid of Your divine grace, without which I can do
nothing. Amen.
