Catholicism; The Act of Contrition

Every day is a holiday
when I live God’s good life
He meant for me.

The Act of Contrition is, the essential elements that constitute sorrow, and why it matters in the grand scheme of the Catholic faith..

The  Act of Contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of thy just punishments, 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 sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen.
