"IT IS A POVERTY TO DECIDE THAT A CHILD MUST DIE SO THAT YOU LIVE AS YOU WISH." MOTHER TERESA ~
The means of awakening true contrition is to reflect that by our sins we have grievously offended the infinite majesty of God, and have displeased our loving Father, our greatest Benefactor.
Contemplate the myriad stars in the firmament of heaven, consider the countless number of human beings upon earth, the innumerable hosts of spirits in the realms of space, and thence conclude how infinite is the divine greatness. And you have offended this sovereign Lord! Consider furthermore the greatness of your heavenly Father's love for you, in that He gave what was dearest to Him, His only begotten Son for you. How shameful to offend so loving a father! Remember also all that the Son of God suffered in your place. Consider too, the innumerable benefits which throughout your life you have received from God; health, food, clothing, etc., all these things are His gifts, which, when He sees fit, He withdraws from the ungrateful; how instead of showing your thankfulness to God, you have often grieved Him, and repaid His benefits with ingratitude.
The contrition which arises from the love of God is called perfect contrition. Perfect contrition immediately reconciles man with God.
The Act of Contrition:
Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you. I detest all my sins because of your just punishment; but most of all because they offend you my God who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of your grace to turn from sin and avoid places of temptation (mental and physical). God, I ask that You live in me through Jesus Christ. Amen.
HUGE CONGRATS if you prayed those words from your heart. You have just made a perfect contrition by repenting of sin and putting God first in your life as Lord, God and Savior of the world. You acknowledged a heartfelt sorrow for your sins which lead to eternal death. Turning from sin you've acknowledged Jesus Christ is the answer to what you've been searching for (a merciful Savior and Lord), as well as His Grace and Spirit to steer your heart and soul all the way to His throne where He will welcome you home.
God bless you.
Yours in Christ,
Mark Lawrence
