Thankyou Father and thankyou Jules. I use that act of contrition, unless the church I am at has a different one (something like 'O God, I am sorry for my sins because I love You. By your grace, let me sin no more'). Is there any established form for the act of contrition or is there room for a little liturgical innovation? I have seen quite a number of different ones.
