“AND I, IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH, WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME…”
Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of lords, gives His life a ransom for many. At the foot of the cross let us offer an act of contrition…
FORGIVE ME MY SINS, O LORD, FORGIVE ME MY SINS; THE SINS OF MY YOUTH, THE SINS OF MY AGE, THE SINS OF MY SOUL, THE SINS OF MY BODY, MY IDLE SINS, MY SERIOUS VOLUNTARY SINS, THE SINS I KNOW, THE SINS I DO NOT KNOW; THE SINS I HAVE CONCEALED SO LONG, AND WHICH NOW ARE HIDDEN FROM MY MEMORY.
I AM TRULY SORRY FOR EVERY SIN, MORTAL AND VENIAL, FOR ALL THE SINS OF MY CHILDHOOD UP TO THE PRESENT HOUR.
I KNOW MY SINS HAVE WOUNDED THY TENDER HEART, O MY SAVIOUR, LET ME BE FREED FROM THE BONDS OF EVIL THROUGH THY MOST BITTER PASSION, O MY REDEEMER, AMEN.
O MY JESUS, FORGIVE AND FORGET WHAT I HAVE BEEN.
MOST SORROWFUL AND IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY, SUBSTANTIALLY UNITED TO THE HEART OF CHRIST, PRAY FOR ME A SINNER, AMEN.
