CONFITEOR (PENITENTIAL ACT)

I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,

(striking breast, say:)
through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault;

(continue:)
therefore, I ask blessed Mary ever Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.
