AN ACT OF THANKSGIVING AND RENEWAL OF GOOD RESOLUTIONS.
ETERNAL thanks and praise be to Thee, O God of goodness and mercy! Thou willest not the death of a sinner. Thou hast not despised my repentance, but with fatherly love Thou hast received me anew and forgiven me my sins, through the holy Sacrament of Penance. Thou art once more my Father, and I am once more Thy child, united again unto Thee. And now I make a firm resolution: Never again will I commit sin, never again will I grieve Thee, O my God. For the future all that I am, all that I have, all that I do shall be consecrated to Thy service and to Thy glory.
