Preparation for Holy Communion
I Believe and Confess
Pray by candlelightI believe and confess, Lord, that You are truly the Christ, the Son
of the living God, who came into the world to save sinners, of whom
I am the first. I also believe that this is truly Your pure Body
and that this is truly Your precious Blood. Therefore, I pray to
You, have mercy upon me, and forgive my transgressions, voluntary
and involuntary, in word and deed, known and unknown. And make me
worthy without condemnation to partake of Your pure Mysteries for
the forgiveness of sins and for eternal life. Amen
