O Jesus! Thou hast given us in the Holy Eucharist
Thy Body and Blood to be our spiritual nourishment,
through which we may have life everlasting.
Would that I were now prepared to approach the Holy Table
to be united with Thee in the Blessed Sacrament!
I desire, with all my heart,
to receive this living Bread
which came down from Heaven.
O Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my
roof;
say but the word, and my soul shall be healed.
O Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my
roof;
say but the word, and my soul shall be healed.
O Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my
roof;
say but the word, and my soul shall be healed.
Let me taste, at least,
the sweetness of a spiritual Communion.
Come to me, Jesus, my Lord, my Master.
Come and refresh my soul.
Strengthen me, that in union with Thee
I may do perfectly the Heavenly Father’s will.
Let me never be separated from Thee by sin.
Keep me in Thy love and Thy grace.
I will not be lured away from Thee
by the deceitful honours and pleasures of the world.
I love Thee above all things and with my whole heart.
“Thou art the God of my heart,
and the God that is my portion forever.”
Increase my faith,
strengthen my hope,
kindle my love,
that I may die to self and live but for Thee.
