THE ACT OF CONTRICTION

ACT OF CONTRICTION

I confess to Almighty God, and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have sinned through my own fault in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do; and I ask Blessed Mary, ever Virgin, all the angels and saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

SHORT ACT OF CONTRICTION

Oh my God, I love thee, and because I love thee I am sorry for all my sins. I promise to be good, and to sin no more. Amen.
