LORD’S PRAYER

Collect

LET the power of the Holy Spirit come upon me, O Lord. 

I beseech you: that you may both mercifully cleanse my heart and defend me from all adversities. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Epistle (Revelation 3:20)

LISTEN, I stand at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to you, and will eat with you, and you with me.

I AM the vine, you are the branches. You that abide in me, and I in you, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.

Act of Contrition

O GOD, I am very sorry that I have sinned against you who are so good. Forgive me for Jesus' sake, and I will try to sin no more.

Act of Reception

IN Union, dear Lord, with the faithful at every altar of your Church where your blessed Body and Blood are being offered,

I desire to offer you praise and thanksgiving.

I believe that you are truly present in the Holy Sacrament. 

Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, 

I beseech you to come spiritually into my heart.

I unite myself to you, and embrace you with all the affections of my soul. 

Let me never be separated from you. 

Let me live and die in your love. Amen.

✠  COME Lord Jesus and dwell in my heart  ✠

MAY the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my body and soul unto everlasting life.  Amen.

Act of Praise and Thanksgiving

BLESSED, praised, and adored be Jesus Christ on his throne of glory in Heaven, and in the most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.
