Summary of the Examination of Conscience

(When presenting yourself to the confessor, say):

"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I confess to Almighty God, and to you, Father. My last confession was (days, weeks or months ago). My sins are as follows: (declaration of sins)."

(no items selected)

(After finishing the confession of sins, one can add):

"Of these and also of all my past and forgotten sins, I repent with all my heart; for all of them I ask forgiveness from God, and from you, Father, absolution."

(Listen afterwards with respect and attention to the words of the confessor, and at the end the Act of Contrition is prayed).

My Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, my Creator and Redeemer, because You are who You are, supremely good and worthy of being loved above all things, and because I love and esteem You, I am sorry, Lord, for having offended You; I am also sorry for having lost Heaven and deserved Hell. But I firmly resolve, with the help of Your divine grace, and through the powerful intercession of Your Most Holy Mother, to amend my life and to never offend You again. I hope to obtain forgiveness for my sins, through Your infinite mercy. Amen.
