O Holy Spirit. Source of all light, Spirit of wisdom, of understanding, and of knowledge, come to my assistance and help me prepare for my first confession. Enlighten me, and help me now to know my sins as one day I shall recognize them in front of You. Bring to my mind the evil which I have done and the good which I have failed to do.

Do not allow me to be blinded by self-love. Grant me heartfelt sorrow for my transgressions, and the grace of a sincere confession, so that I may be forgiven and draw closer to you. Amen.
