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 (and to you, father, or you, brethren), that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, and deed: through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore, I beseech the blessed Mary ever Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and all the Saints (and you, father, or, you, brethren), to pray to the Lord our God for me.
May Almighty God have mercy upon us (thee or you), forgive us our sins, and bring us to life everlasting. Amen.
May the Almighty and merciful Lord grant us pardon, absolution, and remission of all our sins. Amen.
The words between brackets are omitted in private recitation.
GRACE BEFORE MEAT.
Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts, which We are about to receive from Thy bounty. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
GRACE AFTER MEAT.
We give Thee thanks, Almighty God, for all Thy benefits; who livest and reignest, world without end. Amen.
May the souls of the faithful, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
