	Contrition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Contrition.) Catholic writers have always taught the necessity of contrition for the forgiveness of sin, and they have insisted that such necessity arises (a) from the very nature of repentance as well as (b) from the positive command of God.
		The contrition adjudged necessary by Christ and his Apostles was no mere formality, but the sincere expression of the sorrowing soul (Luke, xiv, 11-32; Luke, xviii, 13); and the grief of the woman in the house of the Pharisee merited forgiveness because "she loved much".
		The obligation of perfect contrition is also urgent whensoever one has to exercise some act for which a state of grace is necessary and the Sacrament of Penance is not accessible.

	Catholic First Perfect Act of Contrition
		Since this form of the act of contrition incorporates all the elements of the act of perfect contrition, I urge all of you, one and all, to memorize and use this act of contrition.
		For the act of contrition to be complete, one must fulfill all the obligations that follow from ones sins.
		In like manner, the act of contrition is an act by which one is sorry for past sins, and that sorrow extends into the future so that it also requires the purpose of amendment never to commit those sins or any sins, for that matter, in the future.

	Act of Perfect Contrition
		The act of perfect contrition must not only be sincere, but it must contain all the elements demanded by God to have its effect, namely, forgiveness of mortal sin.
		First of all, be sure to call it “the act of perfect contrition” and not “the perfect act of contrition.” In really old catechisms the act of perfect contrition was merely called the act of contrition, and the act of imperfect contrition was called attrition.
		The act of contrition is so much an internal act that it can (and probably for safety sake should) be made without saying one single word with the tongue and lips.

	SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Is Contrition an act of virtue? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Nevertheless this sorrow may belong to contrition taken as part of the sacrament, since the nature of a sacrament is such that it consists not only of internal but also of external acts and sensible things.
		Accordingly, contrition is essentially a kind of sorrow, and is an act of the virtue of penance.
		Attrition denotes approach to perfect contrition, wherefore in corporeal matters, things are said to be attrite, when they are worn away to a certain extent, but not altogether crushed to pieces; while they are said to be contrite, when all the parts are crushed [tritae] minutely.

		The Council of Trent insists that true contrition includes the firm will never to sin again, so that no mater what evil may come, such evil must be preferred to sin.

		For, as regards the substance of the act, we have the definition given above: and since the act of contrition is both an act of virtue, and a part of the sacrament of Penance, its nature as an act of virtue is explained in this definition by mentioning its genus, viz.
		Reply to Objection 2: Contrition is from God alone as to the form that quickens it, but as to the substance of the act, it is from the free-will and from God, Who operates in all works both of nature and of will.

	Darleen's Place: Battlestar Galactica - 'Act of Contrition'
		Jeff Harrell at The Shape of Days has been tantalizing us all over the last few months with what's to come in this season of BSG (he's been seeing it ahead of us through a British feed).
		In "Act of Contrition" Starbuck is haunted by Zack's death as the tragedy of the loss of 13 Viper pilots puts her in the position of having to train rookies ("nuggets" in BSG parlance).
		It's nicely framed with both flashbacks and what turns out to be "flashforwards." When Starbuck dismisses all the nuggets after their first day of training, Lee goes to talk with Adama and, in a classic case of misunderstanding, believes Starbuck has already confessed her past to Adama and lets slip about it.

		AUTHOR'S NOTES: The Act of Contrition is essentially a prayer of apology.
		It is used in the Rite of Reconciliation (Confession) in the Roman Catholic church in order for the penitent to be able to accept the forgiveness God offers.
		The Act of Contrition is basically to do with how we own our actions and the hurt we inflict on others - not self-hatred and negation, but a mature taking of responsibility, and a reaching out to accept the love of those around us.

	Galactica Station - Battlestar Galactica Reviews
		And this is the big failing of this story: taken on their own, each scene is very much a set-piece, contrived and directed towards three things: Adama learning the truth about his son's death; the capture of a Cylon Raider and Starbuck's MIA situation.
		In these latter regards, “Act of Contrition” could be said to be little more than a 40+ minute set-up for the next episode.
		BUT – and this is the nub of the matter: the entire story is beautifully constructed in terms of the balance between the past, the present and – in Thrace's case – the future; and the acting throughout is outstanding.
