Saints LightPrayer After Confession
A short thanksgiving written for this app in the traditional style. Pray it right after Confession, ideally before or after doing your penance, so that you leave in gratitude rather than relief alone.
The prayer
I thank Thee, my God, for Thy mercy. My sins are forgiven and I am Thy child again.
Help me to do my penance with a willing heart, to avoid the occasions of sin, and to show others the mercy Thou hast shown to me.
Mary, my Mother, keep me close to your Son. Amen.
Pray it this week
After your next Confession, stay in the church for two minutes, do your penance, and then pray this prayer before you leave.
