Communion Prayers

Prayer Before Holy Communion

I believe, O Lord, and confess that You are truly Christ, the Son of the living God, Who came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the first.

Accept me this day, O Son of God, as a partaker of Your Mystical Supper, I will not tell the mystery to Your enemies, nor will I give You a kiss as did Judas, but like the thief I confess to You:

Remember me, O Lord,
when You come into Your kingdom.
Remember me, O Master,
when You come into Your kingdom.
Remember me, O Holy One,
when You come into Your kingdom.

May the partaking of Your Holy Mysteries, O Lord,
be unto me not for judgment or condemnation,
but for the healing of soul and body.

O God, be merciful to me a sinner.
O God, cleanse me of my sins, and have mercy on me.
I have sinned without number, forgive me O Lord.

Prayers After Holy Communion

Glory Be to You, O God. Glory Be to You, O God. Glory Be to You, O God.

Prayer of John Damascene

God, my God, unextinguishable and invisible fire, You make Your angels flaming fire. Out of Your inexpressible love You have given me Your divine Flesh as food, and through this communion of Your immaculate Body and precious Blood You receive me as a partaker of Your divinity. Permeate all my body and soul, all my bones and sinews. Consume my sins in fire. Enlighten my soul and illumine my mind. Sanctify my body and make Your abode in me together with Your blessed Father and all-holy Spirit, that I may always abide in You, through the intercession of Your immaculate Mother and all Your saints. Amen.

Prayer to the Most Holy Mother of God

Most holy Lady, Mother of God, light of my darkened soul, my hope, my protection, my refuge, my comfort and my joy, I am grateful that You have enabled me, unworthy as I am to partake of the most pure Body and precious Blood of Your Son. You bore the true Light; give light to the spiritual eyes of my heart. You bore the fountain of immortality; give life to me made dead by sin. Kind-hearted Mother of the merciful God, have mercy on me. Give me compunction, contrition of heart, and humility of mind. Recall me from the distractions of my thoughts. Enable me to receive without condemnation and to my last breath the most pure and sanctifying Mysteries for the healing of my soul and body. Grant me tears of repentance and confession so that I may praise and glorify You all the days of my life, for You are blessed and glorified forever. Amen.
