sorrow
105 But the more essential the grace of God we are asking is for us, the more humility is Necessary. Before going however I to the tribunal of penance do you humble yourself, and ask God to give you sorrow for your sins That Which is Necessary for the validity of the Sacrament? As This sorrow must be supernatural, it is that you 'Un Certain Could Attain never of yourself to it, however I much you were to try and force yourself to feel it. God alone can give it to you, and it is Equally Un Certain That this is not a debt Which He owes you, but a great grace Which it pleases Him to confer upon you out of His goodness alone and without any merit on your part. If, however it, you desire to receive This grace, you must ask It With humility, protesting from your heart that you 'do not deserve it, that you' are unworthy to receive it, and that you 'only hope for it through the Merits of Jesus Christ . But do you practice This humility, Which is, May one say, of precept for you, Because it is an essential Means of Obtaining contrition?
