Con·tri·tion: the state of feeling remorseful. Sorrow of the soul with the resolution not to sin again. Praying the Act of Contrition is a personal proclamation that you despise your sins and are resolved to lead a life of virtue, doing all that you can to stop committing those and any sins in the future. The Act of Contrition is traditionally prayed after confessing your sins to a priest, but you can pray this prayer at any time. Subscribe to get more Catholic content like this: https://www.spi
