Forgive me my sins, O Lord, forgive me my sins. The sins of my youth, the sins of my age; the sins of my soul, the sin of my body; my idol sins, my serious voluntary sins; the sins I know, the sins I do not know; the sins I have concealed for so long and which are now hidden from my memory: I am truly sorry, for every sin, mortal and venial, for all the sins of my childhood up to this present hour.
I know my sins have wounded Your sacred heart, oh my savior. Through Your most bitter passion, let me be freed from the bonds of evil. Send forth St. Michael and the holy angels to defend me against the enemy, to guard my soul from temptation, and to lead me ever closer to You.
