Acts of Contrition
Either prayer may be said as an Act of Contrition during the Sacrament of Reconciliation
1. O my God, I am sorry for my sins, in choosing to do wrong and in 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.
2. Father of mercy, like the prodigal son, I return to you and say:
“I have sinned against you and am no longer worthy to be called your child.”
Jesus Christ, Savior of the world,
I pray with the repentant thief to whom you promised Paradise:
“Lord, remember me in your kingdom.”
Holy Spirit, fountain of love, I call on you with trust:
“Purify my heart, and help me to walk as a child of light.”
