Act of Contrition
Act of Contrition
Lord Jesus Christ, I am heartily sorry for my sins. Grant me, therefore, pardon of my sins and the grace I ask of You through the merits of the sorrows of Your loving Mother and the virtues of Your martyr, Saint Expeditus.
Pause here for the grace you are asking.
O glorious Martyr, St. Expeditus, through the lively faith which was granted you by God, I ask you to awaken the same faith in my heart, that I may also believe wholeheartedly that there is God, and above all that I may be saved from sinning against Him.
Pause here for your intention.
Please ask Our Lord, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin, for the forgiveness of my sins, and the grace to change my life, particularly the grace I ask in this novena, and I promise to follow your example and propagate this devotion to you.
Now pray three times in honor of the Most Holy Trinity:
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
