O Lord, My God, I confess that I have sinned against You in thought, word and deed. I have also not done what Your holy law requires of me. But now, with repentance and sorrow for my wrong thoughts, words and actions, I turn again to Your love and mercy.

I entreat You to forgive me all my transgressions and to cleanse me from all my sins. Lord, fill my heart with the light of Your truth. Strengthen my will by Your grace. Teach me both to desire and to do only what pleases You.

Amen.
