The prayer of contrition, or "act of contrition" is a prayer that we pray to God to show him that we are sorry for our sins and that we intend to reform our lives. Here is a popular version of it:

O, my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended thee,
and I detest all of my sins because of thy just punishments,
but most of all because they offend thee, my God,
who are all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of thy grace, to sin no more,
and to avoid the near occasions of sin.
Amen.
