Act of Contrition
An act of contrition is a prayer telling God that we are sorry for our sins and want, with his help, to begin again. It is said in the sacrament of confession and by many people at the end of each day. This is a traditional English form.
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended thee, and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
