Actus contritionis
Deus meus,
O my God,
ex toto corde pǽnitet me ómnium meórum peccatórum,
I am heartily sorry for having offended You,
éaque detéstor, quia peccándo,
and I detest all my sins
non solum pœnas a te iuste statútas proméritus sum,
because of Your just punishments,
sed præsértim quia offéndi te, summum bonum,
but most of all because they offend You, my God,
ac dignum qui super ómnia diligáris.
who are all good and deserving of all my love.
Ídeo fírmiter propóno,
I firmly resolve,
adiuvánte grátia tua,
with the help of Your grace,
de cétero me non peccatúrum,
to sin no more
peccandíque occasiónes próximas fugitúrum.
and to avoid the near occasions of sin.
Amen.
Amen.
