I CONFESS to Almighty God, to blessed Mary, ever Virgin, to blessed Michael the archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the saints, that I have sinned exceedingly, in thought, word, and deed, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I beseech the blessed Mary, ever Virgin, the blessed Michael the archangel, the blessed John the Baptist, the holy apostles Peter and Paul, and all the saints, to pray to the Lord God for me.
May the Almighty God have mercy upon me, forgive me my sins, and bring me to everlasting life. Amen.
May the Almighty and Merciful Lord grant me pardon, absolution, and remission of all my sins. Amen.
V. Vouchsafe, O Lord, during this day,
R. To preserve me pure and without sin.
V. Have mercy on me, O Lord.
R. Have mercy on me, O Lord.
V. Lord, grant that thy mercy may be shown to me.
R. According to the hope I have placed in thee.
V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my supplications come unto thee.
Let us pray.
LORD God all-powerful, who hast brought me safely to the beginning of this day, protect me by thy providence, that during the course of it I may not fall into sin, but that all my thoughts, words, and actions, being directed by thy holy grace, may tend to the accomplishment of thy divine will; that during this life, and the eternity of the life to come, I may, through thy divine assistance, be delivered and saved, O Saviour of the world! who livest and reignest one God, world without end. Amen.
Amen.
O blessed Angel! to whose holy care I am committed by the supreme clemency, illuminate, defend, and govern me this day: preserve me particularly from sin, and watch over me at the awful moment of my death. Amen.
Amen.
May the Lord bless and preserve me from all sin and danger; and may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Amen.
