Act of Contrition
Version 1:
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all of 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 to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
In His name, my God, have mercy.
Version 2:
O my God, I am sorry that I have sinned.
Please forgive me. I know you love me.
I want to love you and to be good to everyone.
Help me to make up for my sins
and I’ll try to do better from now on.
Amen.
