An Act of Contrition
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 are 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.
Prayer After Confession
Almighty and merciful God, Whose mercy is boundless and everlasting and of Whose goodness the riches are infinite,
I thank You because You have so graciously pardoned all my sins and restored Your Heavenly favor. I am awed by
Your divine compassion and the incomprehensible love of Your Son, which has led Him to institute so gentle and
powerful a remedy for sins. In union with all the gratitude that has ever ascended to You from truly penitent
hearts, I proclaim Your merciful praises on behalf of all in Heaven, on earth, and in purgatory, for ever and ever. Amen.
