Through an act of Perfect Contrition, you can receive the forgiveness of
your sins outside of confession, even mortal sins, provided that you
determine yourself to correct your life and make a firm resolution to go to
sacramental confession as soon as possible, when it becomes once more
available.
\u2022 In reality or in your mind kneel at the foot of a crucifix and mentally
repeat: “Jesus, my God and my Saviour, in the midst of your agony you
remembered me, you suffered for me, you wanted to purify me from my
sins”.
\u2022 Contrition is “perfect” if you repent of your sins because you love God
and you sincerely regret having offended Him and having contributed
Christ’s sufferings on the Cross.
\u2022 Recite, slowly and sincerely, an act of contrition focusing on the
goodness of God and your love for Jesus: “O my God, since you are so
good, I am sincerely repentant for having sinned against you and with the
help of your grace I will no longer sin. Amen”.
\u2022 Make a firm resolution to go to sacramental confession as soon as<\/strong><\/span> possible<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
