The traditional prayer of humility and communal repentance.
I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
(strike breast) through my fault, (strike breast) through my fault,
(strike breast) through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God. Amen.
The Confiteor is a penitential prayer in which we acknowledge our sins not only to God, but also to our brothers and sisters, highlighting the communal nature of both sin and reconciliation.
