  My Lord Jesus Christ, true God and man, my creator, the means of my salvation, for being who you are, also because I love you more than all and any things, I repent and wholeheartedly despise all my past sins, for having been a way of transgressing your word. I straighten myself; I will certainly confess myself today, for not wanting to return to transgress your word ever again; I ask you for your forgiveness for my past evils directed at you; I also trust in your sanctified blood and also in your sacred suffering of your death, to attain it [your forgiveness] myself.

  For to do what Our Lord Jesus Christ will come back from heaven at that time?
