Forgive me for I have sinned

It has been far too long since my last confession.

I have strayed from the path of God and neglected the sanctity of Christ in my life.

I have turned away from my faith and placed my trust in false teachings.

I have doubted His existence and spoken against His name.

I have broken promises and failed to honor holy days, neglecting prayer and spiritual devotion.

I have shown disrespect to my superiors and have mistreated my own body, my husband’s body, and the bodies of my friends.

I have allowed pride to guide me.

I have been impatient, jealous, envious, lazy, and angry.

I have harbored hatred in my heart.

I have not remained pure in my thoughts, words, or actions.

I have engaged in relationships outside of marriage.

I have taken what does not belong to me.

I have failed to keep secrets and protect confidences.

I have entertained impure thoughts about others.

I have wished harm upon others.

I have been unfaithful to sacramental living and have not contributed to my community through the Church.

I have neglected penance and turned away from God’s will for me.

For these and all the sins of my past, I am truly sorry.
