Prayer Book for Penitent Souls

[Friend_Of_Rome]

Hello all,
I’ve started a new venture, and I’m going o try to publish it. (Most likely, it will merely be a private prayer book for family, friends, and those who request it.) It’s called “Prayers for the Penitent Soul,” and has prayers and devotions along those lines.

I was wondering if there are any prayers you yourselves like that would be good in such a book? If so, please post. If you want the list of what’s already in it, just email me/PM me. Thank you for your consideration.

Definitely the seven Penitential Psalms:

• Psalm 6 - ‘Do not reprove me in your anger, Lord, nor punish me in your wrath’
• Psalm 32 - ‘Happy the sinner whose fault is removed, whose sin is forgiven’
• Psalm 38 - ‘Lord, punish me no more in your anger, in your wrath do not chastise me’
• Psalm 51 - ‘Have mercy on me, O Lord, in your goodness, in your abundant compassion wipe away my offence’
• Psalm 102 - ‘Lord, hear my prayer, let my cry come to you’
• Psalm 130 - ‘Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord’
• Psalm 143 - ‘Lord, hear my prayer, in your faithfulness listen to my pleading’

And I really like the Litany of the Divine Mercy too, and the Chaplet of course.
