The Act of Penitence
Confiteor
I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
(And, striking their breast, they say):
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.
Optional short form
Have mercy on us, 0 Lord.
For we have sinned against you.
Show us, 0 Lord, your mercy.
And grant us your salvation.
