Thanksgiving After Communion

After receiving the Holy Mysteries, we offer prayers of gratitude for the inestimable gift of Christ’s Body and Blood, asking that they may be for the healing of soul and body.

Glory to Thee, O God. Glory to Thee, O God. Glory to Thee, O God.

Prayer of Thanksgiving

I thank Thee, O Lord my God, that Thou hast not rejected me, a sinner, but hast counted me worthy to be a partaker of Thy holy Mysteries. I thank Thee that Thou hast counted me, the unworthy, worthy to partake of Thy most pure and heavenly gifts. O Master who lovest mankind, who for our sakes didst die and rise again, and gavest us these awesome and life-giving Mysteries for the good and sanctification of our souls and bodies: grant that they may be for me unto the healing of soul and body, the averting of every adversary, the illumination of the eyes of my heart, the peace of my spiritual powers, a faith unashamed, a love unfeigned, the fulfilling of wisdom, the observing of Thy commandments, the receiving of Thy divine grace, and the attaining of Thy Kingdom. Preserved by them in Thy holiness, may I always remember Thy grace and live not for myself alone, but for Thee, our Master and Benefactor. Amen.

A Short Prayer of Thanksgiving

O Lord Jesus Christ, my God, may Thy holy Body be for me unto life eternal, and Thy precious Blood unto remission of sins. May this Eucharist be for me unto joy, health, and gladness. And at Thy dread Second Coming make me, a sinner, worthy to stand at the right hand of Thy glory, through the prayers of Thy most pure Mother and of all the saints. Amen.
