In it, we acknowledge our sins, ask God for forgiveness, and express our desire to repent. The Act of Contrition O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, 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 occasions of sin. Amen.
