Act of Contrition
O my God,
I am heartily sorry for
having offended You,
and I detest all my sins,
because I dread the loss of heaven ,
And the pains of hell;
But most off all because
I offended You my God,
Who are all good and deserving off all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace,
to confess my sins, to do penance
and to amend my life.
The Angelus
Let Us Pray
Pour forth we beseech You, O Lord, Your grace into our hearts
that we to whom the incarnation of Christ, Your Son, was made known
by the message of an angel, may by his passion and cross be brought to
the glory of his resurrection, through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen.
