Act of Contrition

​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.
​Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us,
​In his name, my God, have mercy.
