An Act of Contrition

Oh, God, I am so sorry for all my sins. In choosing to do wrong and in failing to do good, I have offended You, whom I should have loved above all things. I firmly intend with your help to confess my sins, do penance for them, avoid occasions of sin, and sin no more forever. Oh Mary, please help me to love Jesus better. Amen.

Why can I never get it right, this thing called life? Jesus, help me not to rely on me, but only on you. Only on you.
