“Three conditions are necessary for Penance: contrition, which is sorrow for sin, together with a purpose of amendment; confession of sins without any omission; and satisfaction by means of good works.” – St. Thomas Aquinas
“Tres condiciones son necesarias para la Penitencia: contrición, que es dolor por el pecado, junto con un propósito de enmienda; confesión de pecados sin omisión alguna; y satisfacción por medio de buenas obras ".
- Santo Tomás de Aquino
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good,
I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with your help,
to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Saviour Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
In His Name, my God, have mercy.
Amen.
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee,
and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments,
but most of all because they offend Thee, my God,
Who art all-good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace,
to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
have mercy on me, a sinner.
For a child is born to us, a son is given to us; upon his shoulder dominion rests.
– ISAIAH 9:5
They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.

Actos de contrición
Dios mío, lamento mis pecados con todo mi corazón.
Al elegir hacer el mal y no hacer el bien,
he pecado contra ti a quien amaría sobre todas las cosas.
Tengo la firme intención, con tu ayuda,
de hacer penitencia, de no pecar más y de evitar todo lo que me lleve a pecar.
Nuestro Salvador Jesucristo sufrió y murió por nosotros.
En Su Nombre, Dios mío, ten piedad.
Amén.
Oh Dios mío, lamento de todo corazón haberte ofendido,
y detesto todos mis pecados por tus justos castigos,
pero sobre todo porque te ofenden, Dios mío,
que eres todo bueno y merecedor de todo mi amor.
Resuelvo firmemente, con la ayuda de Tu gracia,
no pecar más y evitar las ocasiones cercanas al pecado.
Señor Jesucristo, Hijo de Dios,
ten piedad de mí, pecador.
Porque un niño nos ha nacido, un hijo nos es dado; sobre su hombro descansa el dominio.
Lo nombran Consejero-Maravilla, Dios-Héroe, Padre-Eterno, Príncipe de Paz.
- ISAÍAS 9: 5
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell, but most of all because they offend You, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life.
Amen.
