The whole way over the ocean to Hawaii, I recited the Act of Contrition:
"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 avoid the near occasions of sin.
Amen"
This is the first time in about35 years it has occurred to me to recite this prayer.
United States English translation (as in Baltimore Catechism)
