Prayers of Repentance: Asking God for Forgiveness

By Raphael Augustus of Monteverde

The saints have insisted that true repentance produces peace, not anguish. Saint Augustine teaches that sin, once acknowledged and offered to God, ceases to be poison and becomes medicine; Saint Teresa of vila warns that the sorrow that paralyzes does not come from God; and Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori emphasizes that the devil seeks two extremes: that the soul sin without remorse or that, after sinning, it lose trust in forgiveness.

Grounded in biblical support such as, "A contrite and humbled heart, O God, you will not despise" (Ps 51:19), Prayers of Repentance: Asking God for Forgiveness brings together a collection of prayers for complete repentance before God the Father. Ideal before or after Confession, or as a regular prayer, these supplications rest on Sacred Scripture and on the Catholic faith that teaches us to return to the Father with filial trust, through the Son, in the Spirit.

With traditional and classic images of God the Father, spaces to write intentions, and a novena of forgiveness before God, this is a book that accompanies, step by step, the examination of the heart and the plea for mercy. Intended for those who desire to be reconciled without falling into despair, to strengthen their firm purpose of amendment, and to recover the peace of knowing themselves welcomed by the almighty and merciful Father.
