Prepare for the sacrament with honesty and confidence in God’s mercy.
Original prayer · Life of the Saints
Holy Spirit, help me see my choices truthfully. Bring to mind what I need to confess, without excuses or needless fear. Give me sorrow for sin, trust in God’s mercy, and willingness to change. Help me speak simply and receive the grace offered through this sacrament. Amen.
Bring it into your day
