DEVOTIONS FOR CONFESSION.
PRAYERS BEFORE CONFESSION.
Jesus, bring back to my remembrance tbe sins and wickednesses by which I have offended Thee. Jesus, grant me the spirit of perfect penitence; that by contrition, confession, and satisfaction,! may obtain Thy grace and thoroughly cleanse my conscience.
Jesus, have mercy on me, a wretched sinner, whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious blood.
Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me, enter not into judgment with Thy servants, for in Thy sight no man living shall be justified.
EXAMEN OF CONSCIENCE ON THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
I. Have you wilfully entertained doubts against Faith, denied it, exposed it to danger by reading infidel or heretical books, been guilty of superstitious practices? Do you belong to any secret society? Have you despaired? presumed on God's mercy by culpably postponing your conversion? neglected your prayers? if so, how long?
