Thanksgiving after Holy Communion

To the Most Holy Mother of God

Pray by candlelight

All-holy Lady, Mother of God, the light of my darkened soul, my hope and
protection, my refuge and consolation, and my joy, I thank thee that
thou hast made me, who am unworthy, worthy to be a communicant of the
immaculate Body and precious Blood of thy Son. But do thou who didst
bear the true Light enlighten the spiritual eyes of my heart. O thou
who didst conceive the Source of Immortality, give life to me who am
dead in sin. O thou who art the compassionately loving Mother of the
merciful God, have mercy on me and give me compunction and contrition
of heart, humility in my thoughts, and the recall of my reasoning powers
from their captivity. And grant me till my last breath to receive without
condemnation the sanctification of the Holy Mysteries for the healing
of soul and body. And give me tears of repentance and confession, and
of thanksgiving, that I may praise and glorify thee all the days of my
life. For thou art blessed and glorified for ever. Amen.
