The "Litany of Penance" is a prayer asking for God's mercy, forgiveness, and aid in turning from sin. It invokes Jesus Christ, recalling His mercy and forgiveness shown to many sinners and outcasts in the Bible - from Adam to Zacchaeus. It asks for the grace to judge ourselves and produce worthy fruits of penance so that sin does not reign in us. The prayer seeks pardon, peace, cleansing from offenses, and the ability to serve God with a quiet mind.
