Act of Contrition

 

 

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 avoid whatever leads me to sin.

Our savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy.

Amen.
