Act of Contrition

Oh 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 avoid whatever leads me to sin, and to sin no more.
Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for me. In his name, my God, have mercy.
