“Pardon me, O perfections of my God, for having preferred imperfect and evil inclinations to Thee! Pardon me, O justice of my God, for having outraged Thee by my sins. Pardon me, O holiness of my God, for having so long stained Thy sight's purity by my sins. Pardon me, O mercy of my God, for having despised so long Thy mercy's voice. In deep sorrow and contrition, I cast myself at Thy feet: Have mercy on me.” LongEvilVoiceJusticeSinFeetSorrowForgivenessPerfectionMercySightCastsTheePurityHolinessImperfectInclinationPardonDespisedOutragedPardon MeContritionDeep Sorrow Author:Ignatius of Loyola
