The Prayer of Contrition and Forgiving of Sins

MY GOD AND LORD
YOU, MY HEAVENLY FATHER
 
JESUS

YOUR HOLY WORD
holds Your heavenly mirror
onto my sinful face
to make me realize who I am:
a greatest sinner before
YOUR HOLY FACE
a sinner against
YOUR ALONE HOLY WILL!

I can see my sins in
Your heavenly mirror
which accuse me before
YOUR HOLY FACE.
Not only did YOU
shed Your blood for me
on the Cross of Golgotha,
but You are carrying again for me
The Cross of this world
in
YOUR INFINITE LOVE!

Thus I sink down before YOU
MY FATHER
IN
YOUR HERZENS-URGRUNDPOL
OF ETERNAL LOVE
in deepest humility and repentance
of my heart, beseeching YOU
to forgive me all my sins on Earth!

For I want to be LOVE,
nothing but most burning, merciful
JESUS-MARIA-LOVE
onto every soul with no exception
so as to become through
YOUR GRACE
already here on Earth
A TRUE CHILD OF YOUR HEAVENS.

Thus I forgive
all my brethren
who have sinned against me,
wipe out their guilt
for time and eternity,
just as I beseech all those offended to forgive me
all the wrong I have done them.

Have mercy upon me,
MY FATHER JESUS,
and release me
from my sins and weaknesses,
I will follow YOU
IN
YOUR MOTHER OF YORE MARIA,
MY MOTHER OF REDEMPTION
in absolute obedience
for all eternity,
so that I can look
in a pure mirror of my self!

My eternal thankfulness will rise to YOU
O LORD;
YOUR ALONE HOLY WILL
be fulfilled unto me forever!
 
AMEN
