Saying the Act of Contrition

[magnusbar]

My priest does not tell me to say the Act of Contrition, neither before nor after the absolution.
So today I said it as a part of my confession, after telling my sins. Is that OK?

Yes

You can also say it outside the confessional. Not reciting an act of contrition is one way that priests can speed up confessions when people are waiting in line.
