The Confiteor belongs to the Latin liturgical tradition of the Catholic Church and developed through centuries of worship. Its name comes from the opening Latin word, meaning “I confess.” It acknowledges sin before God and asks Mary, the angels, the saints and fellow worshippers to pray for the speaker.
