O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell. But most of all because I have offended Thee, My God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to confess my sins, do penance and sin no more. Amen.

I just wish "heartily" didn't sound so much like "hardly".

The Church is intolerant in principle because she believes;
she is tolerant in practice because she loves.
The enemies of the Church are tolerant in principle because they do not believe;
 they are intolerant in practice because they do not love.

Usually, the one that's posted, unless there's none; in that case, whatever approximation I can best choke out of the "choosing to do wrong and failing to do good" one, as I have a tendency to stammer and forget things.

I haven't memorized it yet either.  Last week, the confessor had to guide me through it because it wasn't posted...  Embarrassed

"And so, Lord, do you, who do give understanding to faith, give me, so far as you knowest it to be profitable, to understand that you are as we believe; and that you are that which we believe." -- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

"But Christianity preaches an obviously unattractive idea, such as original sin; but when we wait for its results, they are pathos and brotherhood, and a thunder of laughter and pity; for only with original sin we can at once pity the beggar and distrust the king." -- G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."  Baudelaire and Verbal Kint from The Usual Suspects
