Saints LightPrayer Before Confession
A short prayer written for this app in the traditional style. Pray it in the pew before your examination of conscience, so that the Holy Spirit, not anxiety, guides what you remember.
The prayer
Come, Holy Spirit, and give me light to see my sins as God sees them, honestly and without fear.
Give me true sorrow for them, the courage to confess them plainly, and the firm will to begin again.
Mary, refuge of sinners, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in Thy mercy. Amen.
Pray it this week
Look up your parish's Confession times this week, and when you go, pray this before you examine your conscience.
