Loving Lord Jesus

Lord Jesus Christ. I beseech Thee that this holy communion may not be to my con- demnation, but prove an effectual remission of all my sins. May it strengthen my faith ; encourage me in all that is good; deliver me from my vicious customs; re- move all concupiscence; perfect me in charity, patience, humility, and obedience, and in all other virtues. May it secure me against all the snares of my enemies, both visible and invisible; perfectly moderate all my inclina- tions, closely unite me to Thee, the true and only good, and happily settle me in unchangeable bliss. I now make it my hearty request, that Thou wilt one day admit me, though an unworthy sinner, to be a guest at Thy divine Banquet where Thou, with. Thy Son and the Holy Ghost, art the true light, complete satiety, everlasting joy, supreme pleasure, and perfect happiness. Through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
