Penitence of Origen
The Penitence of Origen is a text in the New Testament apocrypha, thought to have been falsely attributed to Origen of Alexandria. Not to be confused with Origen's text Selecta in Threnos, it is a Lamentation purporting to have been cried by Origen himself.
Jodocus Coccius quotes from it :
The text has an affinity with the prayer used before communion, sometimes known as the Mea Culpa.
The work was declared apocryphal and rejected in the Decretum Gelasianum.Citations
