Act of Contrition (only need to memorize one) 1. Oh my God, I am sorry for my sins. In choosing to sin, and failing to do good, I have sinned against You and Your Church. I firmly intend, with the help of your Son, to make up for my sins and to love as I should. Amen.

2. Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You and 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 art 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.

3. M y 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. Amen.
