my God,  relying  upon Thine almighty  power and Thine  infinite mercy and  goodness,  and because Thou  art  faithful  to Thy  promises,  I  trust  in Thee  that  Thou  wilt  grant me forgiveness  of  my  sins, through the  merits  of  Jesus Christ Thy  Son;  and  that Thou wilt  give  me  the assistance of  Thy  grace, with which  I  may  labor  to continue  to  the  end  in  the diligent exercise  of  all  good works, and  may  deserve to obtain  the  glory  which Thou hast  promised  in heaven.

Lord my  God,  I  love Thee with  my  whole heart, and  above  all things, because  Thou,  O God,  art  the  sovereign  good, and for  Thine  own  infinite perfections art  most  worthy of all  love;  and  for  Thy sake I  also  love  my  neighbor as myself.

my God,  I  am  sorry and beg  pardon  for  all my sins,  and  detest them above  all  things,  because they  deserve  Thy dreadful punishments,  because they  have  crucified my loving  Saviour  Jesus Christ, and  most  of  all because they  offend  Thy infinite goodness;  and  I firmly  resolve,  by  the  help of Thy  grace,  never  to offend  Thee  again,  and carefully to  avoid  the  occasions of  sin.
