Act of Contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You. I detest all my sins because

 

I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell, 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 confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life.

Amen.
