+ The Act of Contrition

Oh my God, I am heartily 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 worthy of all my love.
I firmley resolve, with the help of Your grace,
to sin no more and avoid
the near occasions of sin.

+ Amen.

+ Actus Contritionis

Deus meus, ex toto corde poenitet
me omnium meorum peccatorum,
Eaque detestor, quia peccando
non solum poenas a Te iuste statutas promeritus sum,
sed praesertim quia offendi Te,
summum bonum, ac dignum qui super omnia diligaris.
Ideo firmiter propono, adiuvante gratia Tua,
de cetero me non peccaturum peccadnique
occasiones proximas fuguturum.

+ Amen.
