Communion Prayers

Consecration to Jesus

O Jesus, be pleased to recive my poor offering.  Thous hast given Thyself to me.   I want to give myself to Thee, unworthy as I am.  I give Thee my body that in Thee it may be kept chaste and pure.  I give Thee my soul that Thou mayest keep it clean from every stain of sin.  I give Thee my every thought, word, and act for the intentions of Thy Sacred Heart.  I give Thee myself in life and in death, that I may be Thine forever.  Amen.

Soul of Christ

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within thy wounds, hide me.
Separated from thee never let me be.
From the malignant enemy, defend me.
At the hour of death, call me.
And bid me to come unto thee.
That I may praise you in the company
Of your Saints, for all eternity.  Amen.

Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that you are in the Blessed Sacrament.  I love you above all things, and I long for you in my soul.  Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.  As though you have already come, I embrace you and unite myself entirely to you; never permit me to be separated from you.
