O my God, I am heartly sorry for having offended you
and I detest all my sins
because of your just punishments,
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 sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.
THE ACT OF CONTRITION 2
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all 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. Amen.
Our Savior Jesus Christ
suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy.
