O Virgin Mother most sorrowful, I detest my sins because they have offended God, and caused thee so much pain! I am sorry for them, and will be sorry for them as long as I live, and according to the best of my power will do penance for them. Forgive me, dear Lord, for Thy mercy’s sake; pardon me all that is past, and be Thou my keeper for the time to come, that I may nevermore offend Thee. Amen.
