Prayers Before Holy Communion
O Lord Jesus Christ, Who said to Your Apostles: "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to
you," regard not my sins but the faith of Your Church, and deign to give her peace and unity
according to Your Will: Who live and reign, God, world without end. Amen.
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, Who, by the will of the Father, with the cooperation of
the Holy Spirit, have by Your death given life to the world, deliver me by this Your Most Sacred
Body and Blood from all my sins and from every evil. Make me always cling to Your
commandments, and never permit me to be separated from You. Who with the same God the
Father and the Holy Spirit, live and reign, God, world without end. Amen.
Let not the partaking of Your Body, O Lord Jesus Christ, which I, though unworthy, presume to
receive, turn to my judgment and condemnation; but through Your goodness, may it become a
safeguard and an effective remedy, both of soul and body. Who live and reign with God the Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof; but only say the word, and my soul
will be healed. (3 times.)
