Act of Contrition

My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.

In choosing to do wrong

and failing to do good,

I have sinned against You,

whom I should love above all things.

I firmly intend, with Your help,

to do penance,

to sin no more,

and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.

Our Saviour Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.

In His Name, my God, have mercy. Amen.

The Hand Prayer

Hold my hand God,

Lead the way.

Help me be good, everyday.

Let me know what's wrong and right.

Keep me safe all through the night.

Let me know what you have planned.

Lead the way God,

Hold my hand.

Amen

Peace Prayer of Saint Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:

where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

to be consoled as to console,

to be understood as to understand,

to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.
