Act of Contrition is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Effects

• +0.7 tears up.
• Grants an Eternal Heart.
• Allows Angel Rooms to spawn even after Isaac has taken a Deal with the Devil.
• Mitigates the penalties to the chance for a deal to appear from taking red heart damage.
  • Damage during the stage replaces the 99% no-damage bonus with 40% instead of removing it.
  • Damage against the boss replaces the 35% no-damage bonus with 15% instead of removing it.
  • In practice, this results in a -24% chance instead of -64% for taking damage during the stage, and -44% instead of -99% for taking damage against the boss.

Trivia

• Act of Contrition originates from the Antibirth mod. It originally granted an Immortal Heart instead of an Eternal Heart, a heart type that was not added in Repentance. It also did not have the effect to increase the Devil/Angel chance.
• An act of contrition is a Christian prayer that expresses regret over committing a sin and asks for forgiveness.
