 Let us implore  the  grace  of  God  to  know  and  detest our  sins.

REAT God,  sovereign  Judge of the  living  and  the  dead! Who wiliest  not  the  death  of  the sinner, but  rather  that  he  be  converted and  live,  I  humbly  present myself before  Thee,  to  give  Thee an account  of  this  day. Give light to my  mind,  that  I  may  know  my sins;  and  sorrow  to  my  heart,  that "I may  detest  them,  as  much  as they  deserve  to  be  detested.

Let us examine  our  consciences  on  the  sins  which we  have  committed  this  day,  by  thoughts,  words, actions  and  omissions;  insisting,  particularly,  on  the  failings  to  which  we  are  most  subject. (A pause _____ after  which  say:)

I confess  to  Almighty  God,  &c, as  on  page  54.
