confidence that thou wilt grant me remission of all my

sins, and to accuse myself with most profound humility
and contrition of soul before the priest, thy
representative, of all and each of my sins, in so far as I
can recall them to my mind, nor will I knowingly hide
any mortal sin, however vile and shameful it be. And I
desire to include in this my confession, all those sins
which I cannot now recall to my memory, and all my
venial sins; and I confess them all to thee as to my great
High Priest high over all, and in presence of all, and in
presence of all the court of heaven I avow and proclaim
myself a perfidious wretch and traitor against thine
adorable Majesty. I beseech thee therefore, O most
merciful Father, that thou wouldst vouchsafe to look on
me a miserable sinner with that eye of compassion

wherewith thou didst look upon thy Son when he fell on

his face in the Garden of Olives, crushed to the earth by
the sins of all mankind, and graciously to hear me while I
implore thy pardon. And to supply what is lacking to my
most imperfect contrition, I offer thee all that
overwhelming grief which thine only begotten Son
endured throughout his whole life on earth in his
sweetest Heart by reason of the sins of the world, and
especially when in the Garden of Olives the extremity of
his anguish wrung from him his sweat of blood;

all its defilements in the stream of that most holy Blood,
and adorn it with a purity whiter than snow. Amen.
beseeching thee that thou wouldst cleanse my soul from
