Prayer to St. Gerard Majella for a good confession
St. Gerard, Patron of a Good Confession, who gave courage to souls whom fear and shame had overcome; who gave sorrow to their hearts, resolution to their wills, truth to their faltering lips.
Enable fuisiontron to know his/her sins, to be truly sorry for them, and to be firmly resolved, with God’s grace, never to sin again.
Help him/her to confess humbly and sincerely, to confess them in the spirit of faith, as confessing them to Our Lord Himself.
Stand by me in this Confession, O gentle Saint, so that I can be freed from all my sins. Amen.
