Act of Contrition #1

Prayer # 1

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 sin no more

and to avoid the near occasions of sin.

Amen.
