Give me light to know my faults and grant me grace to be truly sorry for my sins.

Here examine your conscience on the faults of the day; on the offenses against God, and against your neighbor; on the commandments of God and of the Church; and particularly with regard to your predominant passion, and in reference to your promises and good resolutions.

If you have sinned grievously, resolve to go to confession at the first opportunity. Meditate for a few moments on eternity, death, judgment, heaven, and hell, mindful of the admonition of the Holy Spirit: " In all thy works, O man, remember thy last end and thou wilt never sin." Make an act of contrition.

Act of Contrition

O my God, I am truly sorry for having sinned, because Thou art infinitely good and sin displeases Thee. I am firmly resolved, with the help of Thy grace, never more to offend Thee, and I will carefully avoid the occasions of sin.

Act of Love

I love Thee, my Lord and my God, with my whole heart and above all things, and for the love of Thee I love my neighbor as myself.

Grant that I may love Thee more and more; give me Thy grace that I may live a holy life, die a happy death, and glorify Thee eternally in heaven.

Our Father. Hail Mary, Apostles' Creed, Glory

O sweetest Heart of Jesus!
  I implore
That I may ever love Thee
  more and more.

300 days, each time. - Pius IX, Nov. 26, 1876

Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my love!

300 days, once a day. — Leo XIII, May 21, 1892.

Sweet heart of Mary, be my salvation!

300 days, each time.— Pius IX, Sept. 30, 1863.
