315 Before the prayer of Compline, we can begin with a review of the day, or with a penitential act in the common celebration. In the privacy of one’s heart, each person can give thanks to God for the good things he or she has done during the day, and ask forgiveness for weaknesses, cowardice and lack of love. The sign of the cross is then made while the introduction is sung. God, come to my assistance. Lord, make haste to help me. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Here, if appropriate, one can say the I Confess to God or any other penitential formula. I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers [and sisters], that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers [and sisters], to pray for me to the Lord our God.
