Day 3


Act of Contrition


O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee,

And I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of Heaven, and the pains of Hell;

But most of all, because I love Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love.

I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend

my life. AMEN
