The following series of three mantras provide a beautiful means of practicing corporate confession. It is challenging to master, but well-worth the practice. We use this series every week in our Nepali Satsang to the great enrichment of all. The preferred mode is to chant this series corporately in unison.
I have provided below written forms of these mantras in Sanskrit (Romanized) along with Nepali and English translations. A second video is included also that features these and other recitations in order to show one good way to close a Christocentric Satsang. This video is subtitled, but I have not provided translations below. I will do so in the future.

English Translation:
I do not know how to come;
I do not know how to depart;
I do not know any rituals;
God, please forgive me;
I am devoid of words;
I am devoid of works;
I am devoid of devotion, my good Lord;
Still I come to worship you, Jesus;
Please make perfect my shortcomings
Peace, oh God
Have mercy on me, a sinner
I am a sinner by birth, I am a sinner by deeds.
My soul is depraved by sin; I am conceived in sin.
Lord, be merciful to me, I come as a child.
I am a sinner by birth, I am a sinner by deeds.
My soul is depraved by sin; I am conceived in sin.
Lord Shri Jesus, I come to you, take away all my sins.
These chants have been taken from the booklet “Christocentric Satsang”, compiled by anil yesudas. “Christocentric Satsang” contains chants in Sanskrit, with translations in Hindi and English. These booklets are available through the website Adhyathma Vatika. For the sake of our Nepali and Bhutanese friends, in this blog, I have added translations in Nepali.
