Prayer
for Forgiveness
MY
GOD, I AM SORRY FOR MY SINS WITH ALL MY HEART. IN CHOOSING TO
DO WRONG AND FAILING TO DO GOOD,
I HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOU WHOM I SHOULD LOVE ABOVE ALL THINGS.
I FIRMLY INTEND, WITH YOUR HELP, TO DO PENANCE, TO SIN NO MORE,
AND TO AVOID WHATEVER LEADS ME TO SIN. OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST
SUFFERED AND DIED FOR US. IN HIS NAME, MY GOD, HAVE MERCY.
REMEMBER, O LORD, YOUR COMPASSION AND MERCY WHICH YOU SHOWED LONG
AGO. DO NOT RECALL THE SINS AND FAILINGS OF MY YOUTH. IN YOUR
MERCY REMEMBER ME, LORD BECAUSE OF YOUR GOODNESS.
LORD, GOD, IN YOUR GOODNESS HAVE MERCY ON ME: DO NOT LOOK ON MY
SINS. BUT TAKE AWAY ALL MY GUILT. CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART AND
RENEW WITHIN ME AN UPRIGHT SPIRIT.
LORD, JESUS, YOU CHOSE TO BE CALLED THE FRIEND OF SINNERS. BY
YOUR SAVING DEATH AND RESURRECTION FREE ME FROM MY SINS. MAY YOUR
PEACE TAKE ROOT IN MY HEART AND BRING FORTH A HARVEST OF LOVE,
HOLINESS AND TRUTH.
