Examination of conscience, which may be followed by an act of penance as at Mass.
Confíteor Deo omnipoténti et vobis, fratres, quia peccávi nimis cogitatióne, verbo, ópere et omissióne:
I confess to Almighty God, and unto thee, brethren, that I have sinned much, in thought, word, deed, and omission:
et, percutientes sibi pectus, dicunt:
And they beat their breasts, saying:
mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa.
It's my fault, it's my fault, it's my very big fault.
Deinde prosequuntur:
Then we continue:
Ideo precor beátam Maríam semper Vírginem, omnes Angelos et Sanctos, et vos, fratres, oráre pro me ad Dóminum Deum nostrum.
Wherefore I beseech the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin, all the angels and saints, and thou, brethren, to pray for me unto the Lord our God.
