                                           New Order of Penance
The next time you go to Confession, you may hear some different words than what you're used to.  Not to worry, the priest will guide you through it!

This is simply a slight change in the translation of the Words of Absolution spoken by the priest.  Read more about the changes HERE.
 

“God, the Father of mercies,
through the death and resurrection of his Son
has reconciled the world to himself
and poured out [formerly “sent”] the Holy Spirit for [previously “Holy Spirit among us for”] the forgiveness of sins;
through the ministry of the Church
may God grant [instead of “give”] you pardon and peace.
And I absolve you from your sins
in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”

In addition, there is another option for the Act of Contrition:

                           "O my God,
                           I am heartily sorry for having offended you,
                           and I detest all my sins because of your just punishments,
                           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"
