Act of Contrition
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you.
I detest all my sins because of your just punishments,
but most of all because they offend you, my God,
who are all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace,
To sin no more and to avoid the occasions of sin.
Amen.
OR
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee.
And I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven
And the pains of Hell; 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 confess my sins,
To do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
