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
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 confess my sins,
to do penance,
and to amend my life. Amen.
