We all offend God many times a day, yet we do not express our sorrow as we should. In this meditation we pray about how we can foster true contrition, sorrow of love, for our sins and failings. We consider:

• That God truly loves each of us more than all the mothers in the world put together
• That our sins offend God more than do the sins of others, because he has given us more grace
• The difference between perfect contrition and imperfect contrition
• That St Josemaria Escriva calls the act of contrition the best devotion
• That we should say many acts of contrition each day
• How we can foster true contrition for our sins
