 Let us place  ourselves  in  the  presence  of  God. (A few  moments  of  silence  ensue,  after  which,  all say  aloud:)

CONFESS to  Almighty  God,  to the  Blessed  Mary  ever  Virgin, to Blessed  Michael  the  Archangel, to Blessed  John  the  Baptist,  to  the holy Apostles,  Peter  and  Paul  and to all  the  Saints,  that  I  have  sinned exceedingly, in  thought,  word  and deed: through  my  fault,  through my fault,  through  my  most  grievous fault. Therefore, I  beseech the Blessed  Mary,  ever  Virgin,  the Blessed Michael  the  Archangel, Blessed John  the  Baptist,  the  holy Apostles Peter  and  Paul,  and  all the Saints,  to  pray  to  the  Lord  our God for  me.
