AUGUST 13 BLESSED MARCO D'AVIANO. Prayer

ACT OF PERFECT PAIN

Mark of Aviano's prayer

I weak creature and unworthy, prostrate at your feet I confess with innumerable pain and with the soul full of confusion my innumerable negligences and sins, which I have committed in my life. I offended you, O my God, I offended you and I repent from the bottom of my heart. In the living hope of Your holy help, I have the firm intention of dying rather than committing one more mortal sin. I am endlessly sorry for my sins, above all for this: because I have offended You, my infinitely good and loving God, from whose praise, thanksgiving and glorification no creature should ever cease. Amen
