P. Amen.

C. Confiteor Deo omnipotenti, beatæ Mariæ semper Virgini, beato Michaeli Archangelo, beato Joanni Baptistæ, sanctis apostolis Petro et Paulo, omnibus Sanctis, et tibi pater, (here turn your head towards the priest, and then go on,) quia peccavi nimis cogitatione, verbo, et opere, (striking your breast thrice, say,) mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa: ideo precor beatam Mariam semper Virginem, beatum Michaelem Archangelum, beatum Joannem Baptistam, sanctos apostolos Petrum et Paulum, omnes sanctos, et te pater, (here turn again towards the priest,) orare pro me ad Dominum Deum nostrum.

P. Misereatur vestri, &c.
