RULE OF LIFE

Almighty God, my heavenly Father, I have sinned against you through my own fault:

--In thought-In word-In deed

-In what I have done-In what I have left undone

For the sake of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, forgive me all my offenses; and grant that I may serve you in newness of life, to the glory of your Name. Amen
