ACT OF CONTRITION

O my God, I am sorry and beg pardon for all my sins,
I detest them above all things,
because they deserve Your dreadful punishments,
because they have crucified my loving Saviour Jesus Christ,
and most of all, because they offend Your infinite goodness;
and I firmly resolve,
by the help of Your grace,
never to offend You again,
and carefully to avoid the occasions of sin.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I long for You in my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
As though You have already come,
I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You;
never permit me to be separated from You.
