Marcolorenzo Ruggenti Poet Rhyme

LIST OF MY SINS

I cannot reveal all my sins, 
only God knows their damage 
and the gravity lying within. 
It is a list filled to overflowing  
Greater than the unredeemed and unknowing.

But in humble penance, 
God pours in grace, 
bringing back an ancient purity, 
a reflection of love and tenderness, 
reborn in traceless sincerity.

So now I watch all my words, 
I tame the body and its impulses, 
letting silent conscience instruct me, 
teaching me what virtue knows.

I entrust myself to God’s hand
that guides me in everything, 
I strip my mind of all vile thoughts and vice 
And live anew, blessed on the shores of Paradise.
