Penitential Act: I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God. Amen. In the prayer I confess everyone acknowledges they have done wrong in thought, word, things they have done and the things they have neglected to do. Then they agree it was their own fault. Nobody made them do it. Finally they ask all the saints and angels and everyone present to pray for them.
