Preparation for Holy Communion

Prayer of St. John Chrysostom

Pray by candlelight

Lord, Jesus Christ my God, forgive the faults and sins which I, Your
unworthy servant have committed from my youth to this day and hour, whether
knowingly or in ignorance, whether by words, deeds, intentions or thoughts
and whether by habit or through any of my senses. By the prayers of Your
pure and Virgin Mother, make me worthy without condemnation to receive
Your precious, immortal and life-giving Mysteries for the forgiveness
of sins and eternal life. May the Eucharist sanctify, enlighten, strengthen
and heal my soul and body and thus destroy my evil thoughts, intentions
and prejudices. For Yours, Christ our God, is the Kingdom, the power,
the glory, the honor and worship with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
now and forever and ever. Amen.
