Preparation for Holy Communion

Receive Me Today, Son of God

Pray by candlelight

Loving Master, Lord Jesus
Christ, my God, let not these holy Gifts be to my condemnation because
of my unworthiness, but for the cleansing and sanctification of soul and
body and the pledge of the future life and kingdom. It is good for me to
cling to God and to place in Him the hope of my salvation.

Receive me today, Son of God, as a partaker of Your mystical Supper.
I will not reveal Your mystery to Your adversaries. Nor will I give
You a kiss as did Judas. But as the thief I confess to You: Lord,
remember me in Your Kingdom.
