Sacrament of Confession- A Simple Prayer Explained

The Act of Contrition is one of the most powerful and personal prayers in the faith.

💬 "O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You,
and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell,
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 confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen."

Let’s explore what that really means.
