English
I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done
and in what I have failed to do,
(Strike your chest with your right hand on each “fault”:)
through my fault, (strike)
through my fault, (strike)
through my most grievous fault; (strike)
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.
Latin
Confiteor Deo omnipotenti
et vobis, fratres,
quia peccavi nimis
cogitatione, verbo, opere et omissione:
(Strike your chest with your right hand on each “culpa”:)
mea culpa, (strike)
mea culpa, (strike)
mea maxima culpa. (strike)
Ideo precor beatam Mariam semper Virginem,
omnes Angelos et Sanctos,
et vos, fratres,
orare pro me ad Dominum Deum nostrum.
