       through  thee  I  may  now  obtain  forgiveness  of  all  my
       crimes.  And  to  this  end  I  offer  thee  that  ineffable
       sweetness  of  delight  which  one  divine  person
       communicates  to  another  in  the  most  adorable  Trinity.
       Amen.
       O
               LORD Jesus Christ, thou overflowing Fountain
              of  all  mercy,  behold,  I  thy  wretched  and
              unhappy creature return once more to thee, and
       accuse myself in the bitterness of my soul that I have not
       kept  my  resolutions,  but  have  again  fallen  into  my
       former  sins;  that  I  have  served  thee  with  extreme
       negligence, and have been lukewarm and careless in my

       devotion to thee and love of thee; that I have too much
       entangled myself in vain and transitory things, and have
       far too eagerly sought earthly and hurtful pleasures; and
       that  in  these  and  innumerable  other  ways  I  have  many
       times offended thee, the sweetest Spouse of my soul. And
       although  thine  essential  blessedness,  O  my  God,  can
       neither be increased nor diminished, because thou canst
       have  no  need  of  me  or  of  my  goods,  nevertheless  my
       sinful  and  careless  life  does  in  some  sort  tend  to  the
       notable  prejudice  of  thy  honour  and  glory.  Thou
       knowest, O my God, what sorrow I now have, or at least
       what sorrow I ought to have, in my heart for all these my
       sins. Wherefore, O most tender Father, I confess to thee
       with most bitter contrition of heart all those sins whereof
       thou knowest  me to be guilty; most humble beseeching
