Act of Contrition
My Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, Creator, Father and Redeemer of mine, for being who You are, infinite Goodness, and because I love You above all things, I am heartily sorry for having offended You. I am also sorry because You can punish me with the pains of hell. Aided by Your divine grace, I firmly resolve never to sin again, to confess my sins, and to fulfill the penance imposed upon me. Amen.
Prayer for Every Day
O God, who out of love for us sent Your Divine Son as our Savior and Redeemer, we ask that through the merits of His infancy, our faith may increase and we may abound in good works. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

"In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him." (1 Jn. 4:9)

I will show my love for God by doing all the good I can for my neighbor.
