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. 

1973 Translation

I confess to almighty God, 
and to you, my brothers and sisters, 
that I have sinned through my own fault, 
in my thoughts and in my words, 
in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do; 
and 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.
