An 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
        they offend Thee, my God,
        Who are 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.
