Catholic Prayers for Forgiveness, Repentance & Confession Preparation
Contrition is sorrow of the soul and detestation for sin committed, together with the resolution not to sin again. Catholic prayers of repentance restore our friendship with God and empower us to forgive those who have deeply wounded us.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
— 1 John 1:9
