MY God,  I  heartily  repent,  and  am  grieved  that  I have  offended  Thee,  because  Thou  art  infinitely good and  sin  is  infinitely  displeasing  to  Thee. I humbly ask of  Thee  mercy  and  pardon,  through  the  infinite merits of  Jesus  Christ. I resolve  by  the  assistance  of Thy  grace,  to  do  penance  for  my  sins,  and  I  will  endeavor never more  to  offend  Thee.

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

May almighty  God  have mercy upon  us,  and  forgive  us our  sins,  and  bring  us  unto  life everlasting. Amen.

May the  almighty  and  merciful Lord  grant  us  pardon, ✠ absolution, and  remission  of our  sins. Amen.
