Lord, Father all powerful, and ever glorious God, I give you thanks, for even though I am a sinner, Thy unprofitable servant, not because of my worthiness, but in the kindness of Thy mercy, you fed me with the precious Body and Blood of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that this holy communion I received in this Mass may not bring me condemnation and punishment but forgiveness and salvation.
May this Holy Communion be a shield of faith and a shield of good will. May it make Me pure from all evil ways and put an end to my evil thoughts. May it bring me charity and patience, humility and obedience, and to grow in power to do good. May it defend me strongly against all my enemies, both visible and invisible, and the perfect calming of all my evil impulses, both bodily and spiritual. May it unite me more closely to Thee, the one true God and take me safely through death to everlasting happiness with Thee.
And I pray that you Oh Lord will lead me, a poor sinner to the banquet where You, with Your Son and Holy Spirit, who are true and perfect light, total fulfillment, everlasting joy, gladness without end, and perfect happiness to Thy saints. We pray that you grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
