ACT OF CONTRITION 1
O MY GOD, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell; but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
Contrition 11
Forgive me my sins, O Lord, forgive me my sins;
the sins of my youth, the sins of my age, the sins of my soul,
the sins of my body; my idle sins, my serious voluntary sins;
the sins I know, the sins I do not know; the sins I have concealed
for so long, and which are now hidden from my memory.
I am truly sorry for every sin, mortal and venial,
for all the sins of my childhood up to the present hour.
I know my sins have wounded Thy Tender Heart,
O My Savior, let me be freed from the bonds of evil through
the most bitter Passion of My Redeemer. Amen.
O My Jesus, forget and forgive what I have been. Amen.
Beautiful Prayers

here is a little recipe for a good act of contrition
Tell God you are sorry for what you have done.
Tell God that you want to try to do better in the future.
Ask for God's help in avoiding those things which damage your relationship with God.
There are a bunch of Act's of Contrition out there, but they all follow this little pattern pretty much.
God bless.

Here is a typical Act of Contrition:
My God,
I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
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.
Amen.
With love in Christ.

Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy.

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you. I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell, but mostly I'm sorry for having offended you, my God, who is all good and deserving of all my love.
I resolve, with the help of your grace, to confess my sins, do penance and amend my life. Amen.
