Almighty and ever-living God, I approach the
sacrament of your only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. I come sick to the
doctor of life, unclean to the fountain of mercy, blind to the radiance of
eternal light, and poor and needy to the Lord of heaven and earth.
O my God I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee and I detest all of my
sins because of thy just punishments but most of all because they offend Thee,
my God, who art all good and worthy of all my love. I firmly resolve with
the help of thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin.
Amen.
After
Communion
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within Thy wounds hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee.
From the malignant enemy, defend me.
In the hour of my death, call me,
and bid me come to Thee, that with Thy saints
