Bless me father, for I have sinned. It has been ____ since my last confession, and these are my sins:
These are my sins, and I am sorry for them with all my heart.

(Your confessor may offer you some advice or have a short conversation with you.)

(Your confessor will assign you penance.) Now pray the act of contrition.
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.
Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In His name, my God, have mercy.
