Act of Contrition

Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn - The Return of the Prodigal Son

O my God,
I am heartily sorry for having offended You,
and I detest all my sins
because of Your just punishments,
but most of all because they offend You, my God,
who are all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace,
to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin.
Amen.

Prayed in the Sacrament of Reconciliation and at the end of each day.
