† Prayer After Communion.

Thank you Lord, Almighty Father, creator of heaven and earth,

because to me, sinner, without any distinction on my part, but by pure attribution of your mercy, you have made me worthy of feeding me with the precious

Body and Blood of your only Son my Lord Jesus Christ.

I beg you, that this Holy Communion is not a moment of punishment for me, but a healthy intercession for forgiveness;

be armor of my faith, shield of my will, death of all my vices,

extermination of all my carnal appetites, and increase of charity, patience and true humility, and of all the virtues:

be perfect calm of my body and my spirit, firm defense against all my enemies seen and unseen, eternal union with you,

only true God, and seal of my happy death.

I beg you, please take this sinner to that divine feast, where you,

with your Son and the Holy Spirit, you are for your saints true light, pure satisfaction,

enduring joy, consummate bliss, and perfect happiness.

Through Christ Our Lord.

Amen.
