Confessing your sins
“Bless me father, for I have sinned. My last confession was…” (give weeks, months, or years).
These are my sins .........
(Confess all your sins to the priest. If you are unsure or uneasy, tell him and ask for help.)
And I am sorry for these and all my sins.
Act of Contrition
O 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 deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin.
(Priest will inform you about penence and give an abosolution of sins.)
