Preparation for Confession
Forgive me, Lord Jesus Christ, our God, for all my sins, through Your boundless mercy and through the intercessions of Your Most Holy Mother, the Virgin Mary, and all the Holy Angels and Archangels, the Holy Fathers and Teachers, the Apostles and Martyrs, and all Your Saints. Forgive me, Lord, for all the sins I have committed from my mother’s womb until this very moment—whether in thought, word, or deed, knowingly or unknowingly, willingly or unwillingly, in secret or in public, by day or by night, awake or asleep, at all times and in all places.
