Thanks for the post! Always a timely reminder.

From the Maronite Penance Service, this is the opening hymn:

I yearn for your pardon, O Lord,
Give me tears to repent in this season of Advent
Lord have mercy.

I beg for your favors, O Lord,
For your mercy I thirst, for your kindness and love.
Lord have mercy.

Against you, O Lord, I have sinned,
Hear the cry of my voice, turn your ear to my prayer.
Lord forgive me.

O wash me O Lord from my guilt
Purify me and I shall be whiter than snow.
Lord forgive me.

Another excellent resource is the following which has been given an imprimatur.

EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE

[Coleus]

thanks.
