Prayer to Christ as the Eucharist
Lord Jesus Christ, given to us as Eucharist:
as we pray before You
as we worship You in the Blessed Sacrament
as we receive You in Communion
as we call You to mind every hour of the day–
Take our meager offerings:
our wayward hearts, our divided wills,
our rushing thoughts, our scattered days,
and with Your burning love begin to change us
into the saints You know we can be.
Fill us, body, soul, mind and heart,
with Your presence and loving strength.
Help us turn away from all sin;
guard us in our thoughts and words and acts.
Flow through us to touch, to heal, to bless,
to share ourselves and what we have
with all those who need You:
your brothers and sisters, and ours.
Nourish in us love of the Eucharist,
taken from Your own heart,
so that we may turn to You, cling to You,
and grow in holiness all our days.
May Blessed Mary,
Your mother and mother of all Your beloved disciples,
pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen
