Prayer before Confession
Oh Most Merciful God, I most humbly thank
You for all Your mercies to me. Grant me,
I beseech You, perfect contrition for my
sins, and help me to discover all those sins
which I ought to confess at this time. O
most glorious Virgin Mary, intercede for me
with your Son Jesus Christ, and obtain for
me full remission of my sins and perfect
amendment of my life.
