Confíteor (short)

Confíteor Deo omnipoténti,

I confess to almighty God

et vobis, fratres:

and to you, my brothers [and sisters],

quia peccávi nimis

that I have greatly sinned,

cogitatióne, verbo, ópere et omissióne.

in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa.

through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault;

Ídeo precor beatam Maríam semper Vírginem,

therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,

omnes Ángelos et Sanctos,

all the Angels and Saints,

et vos, fratres,

and you, my brothers [and sisters],

oráre pro me ad Dóminum Deum nostrum.

to pray for me to the Lord our God.
