In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.\u201d<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">or \u201cO my God, I am sorry for my sins because I have offended you.
