Act of Contrition
1 min
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee,
and I detest all my sins, because of Thy just punishments,
but most of all because they offend Thee, my God,
Who art all-good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace,
to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin.
Amen.
Deus meus, ex toto corde pænitet me omnium meorum peccatorum,
æque detestor, quia peccando, non solum pœnas a Te iuste statutas promeritus sum,
sed præsertim quia offendi Te, summum bonum, ac dignum qui super omnia diligaris.
Ideo firmiter propono, adiuvante Tua gratia, de cetero me non peccaturum
peccandique occasiones proximas fugiturum.
Amen.
