[Bowing down low, the
priest says:] P: I confess to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever virgin, to blessed Michael the archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy apostles Peter and Paul, to all the saints, and to you, brethren, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word and deed: (The priest strikes his breast three times saying:) through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I beseech the blessed Mary ever virgin, blessed Micheal the archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy apostles Peter and Paul, all the saints, and you, brethren, to pray to the Lord our God for me. R: May almighty God have mercy on thee and, having forgiven thee thy sins, bring thee to life everlasting. P: Amen. [The server now says:]

to blessed Michael the
archangel, to blessed John
