Act of Contrition
Please help your child prepare for First Reconciliation by practicing the Act of Contrition. Knowing the proper prayer with confidence will ease some of the anxiety that children may feel as this is the first time they will receive the Sacrament.

Act of Contrition
My God,
I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good,
I have sinned against you
whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with your help,
to do penance, to sin no more,
and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
In His Name, my God, have mercy.
Amen.
