Act of Contrition

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintEmail

The Act of Contrition is an essential prayer for the Sacrament of Confession, but we should also encourage our children to say it every evening before they go to sleep. Children who have made their First Confession should also examine their conscience before saying the Act of Contrition. In silent prayer, they can just think over the day and say sorry for any sins that they committed.

Here is the prayer:

O my God, because you are so good,
I am very sorry that I have sinned against you
and by the help of your grace,
I will not sin again.
Amen.
