At the request of a listener here is an Act of Contrition (Actus Contritionis) from the Baltimore Catechism. I will be adding a simpler version of the AC in a future episode. This just happens to be the standard and most well known.

Deus meus, ex toto corde poenitet me omnium meorum peccatorum, eaque detestor, quia peccando, non solum poenas a Te iuste statutas promeritus sum, sed praesertim quia offendi Te, summum bonum, ac dignum qui super omnia diligaris. Ideo firmiter propono, adiuvante gratia Tua, de cetero me non peccaturum peccandique occasiones proximas fugiturum. Amen.

Oh my God, from all my heart I am sorry for all my sins, and I detest them, not only because in sinning, I deserve the penalties that you have justly established, but especially because I have offended Thee, who art the greatest good, and worthy beyond all my love. Therefore I firmly purpose, with the help of Thy grace, from henceforth to sin no more and flee the next occasions of sinning. Amen.

Follow me on twitter @dylandrego or on instagram @dylan.drego and do not hesitate to drop me a line.

We are living in dark times (in and outside of the Church) which now more than ever requires you and me, ordinary men and women to fight with all our might for the salvation of souls and our own sanctity. Prayer is the foundation that grounds us as well as the wings that draw us close to God. It is the beginning. Pope St. Pius X's reach was limited by the technology of his day, but what about us? What if we could gather, inspire and call upon a 1,000,000 families to pray the rosary everyday?

If you have any prayers you'd like to request, or comments and/or suggestions - please email me at [email protected]. Know that if you are listening to this, I am praying for you. Please continue to pray with me and for me and my family.

May everything you do be Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.

God Love You!Valete (Goodbye)
