We say the Act of Contrition during confession. This card has an image of a priest's hand a cross and the bounty of the Eucharist on the front. On the back is the Act of Contrition Prayer.
(said to the priest during confession)
O my God,
I am heartily sorry for having
offended You.
I detest all my sins because I
dread the loss of heaven and the
pains of hell.
But most of all because they
offend you, my God, Who are
all good and deserving of all
my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help
of Your grace to sin no more
and to avoid the near occasions
of sin. Amen.
