Purification Prayers

It Is Good to Begin Our Prayers By Purifying Our Souls
.
PRAYER BEFORE PRAYING
.
“Almighty Father, I place the Precious Blood of Jesus before my lips before I pray, that my prayers may be purified before they ascend to Your divine altar.”
(St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi Would Begin All Her Prayer Times With This)
.
ACT OF CONTRITION 
.
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 are 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 amend my life. Amen.
.
THE CONFITEOR
.
I confess to Almighty God, to blessed Mary ever Virgin, to blessed Michael the Archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the saints that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, and deed, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore, I beseech blessed Mary ever Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and all the saints, to pray for me to the Lord our God. Amen.
