The Lutheran Church teaches two key parts in repentance (contrition and faith). An Act of Contrition is a Christian prayer genre that expresses sorrow for sins. She expresses no contrition or regret regarding her misconduct. The "Columbia Journalism Review" called the apology "a grudging act of contrition". Contrition for sin must take precedence over temporal concerns. Justification was attained "by contrition and faith joined with charity". It might inadvertently promote feelings of shame and contrition within the individual. It is possible for perfect and imperfect contrition to be experienced simultaneously. Catholic teaching holds that "imperfect" contrition, is also a gift of God. The final songs on "Like a Prayer" are "Spanish Eyes" and "Act of Contrition". One may choose one of the general formula prayers or other prayers of contrition. The chaplet begins with an act of contrition. But there's no final act of contrition. The recitation begins with the sign of the cross and an Act of contrition. By this he meant that her husband had time to make an Act of Contrition.
