<I forgot the exact words for making a perfect act of contrition>

Oh my God,
I am heartily sorry for having offended You,
And I detest all my sins because of Your just punishment.
But most of all, because they offend You, my God,
Who is all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace,
to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin,

Amen.

Until I was well into my teens, I thought the first line was: "Oh my God, I am hardly sorry for having offended You."

100 Acts of Contrition will buy you a couple of hours indulgence from Purgatory according to the Sin and Indulgence balance sheet.
