Mea culpa / ˌ m eɪ. ə ˈ k ʊ l. p ə / is a phrase originating from Latin that means my fault or my mistake and is an acknowledgment of having done wrong. [1] The expression is used also as an admission of having made a mistake that should have been avoided and, in a religious context, may be accompanied by symbolically beating the breast when uttering the words.
From 1604 to 1962, the Roman Missal also prescribed that, at the words mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, those reciting the Confiteor should strike their breast three times. Neither the original (1570) Tridentine edition of the Roman Missal nor the Vatican II editions (from 1970 on) specify the number of times.
