That our dedication by the vows may entail an act of faith whereby we respond to God's call to give ourselves completely with all our talents, abilities and powers to him, to the Church and to the Congregation. (Art.13)
For the grace to admit our guilt most humbly, and to use the days of Lent as a time of reconciliation.
For the Church and for our Holy Father.
...not taking care of what needed to be done; misusing time and treating people badly; failing to keep my word and...failing to respond to letters... (Confession Notes, Paris, 6/15/1835)
