Short Confession of Sins

BEHOLD, O my Lord, I an unworthy sinner confess with sorrow that I have many times sinned against thy divine omnipotence through human frailty, and have in many ways offended against thy divine wisdom through my ignorance, and through my malice have rendered vain all thy priceless goodness towards me. Wherefore, O Father of mercies, have mercy on me; and give me strength from thine omnipotence to resist all things which are contrary to thee, from thine unsearchable wisdom give me prudence to detect and avoid whatsoever may offend thy pure eyes, and of thine overflowing compassion grant me to cleave to thee with such constant fidelity that I may never, in any the least point, swerve from thy adorable will.
