Satan, the Tempter,

27. O my God,
I am heartily sorry for
having offended Thee,
and I detest all my sins,
because I dread the loss of
heaven,
and the pains of hell;
but most of all because
they offend Thee, my God,
Who are all good and
deserving of all my love.
28. I firmly resolve,
with the help of Thy
grace,
to confess my sins,
to do penance,
and to amend my life.
Amen.
29. Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the
wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly
pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the
Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, Satan and all the evil
spirits,
who roam throughout the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
30. “The Most Horrible SIN of the Century is the loss of
the sense of SIN.”
Bl. John Paul II
