The Reason for Our Hope Sins List- Father Larry Richards

Act of Contrition

O my God! I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishment, but most of all because I have offended Thee, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen
