The Most Holy Body and Precious Blood of Christ

And He took bread, and when He had given it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” And likewise the cup after supper, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.” Luke 22:19-20

The remembering, “The memorial of His death and resurrection” Eucharistic prayer II, is a remembering that makes present what it remembers, the great once and for all sacrifice of Jesus for us on the cross.

1. As a sacrifice, the Eucharist or the mass is offered in reparation for sin of the living and the dead, and to obtain Spiritual or temporal benefits from God.

Prayer before Mass.

Eternal Father I offer you the body and blood, soul and divinity of your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, for….

2. As, the Sacred banquet of communion with the Holy Body and Precious Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

 Prayer After Holy Communion.

Welcome, Lord Jesus Christ, into my heart and life.

You are my Lord and my God. I adore you, I thank you. I praise you.

I thank you for your body and blood, given up and poured out for me. May your body nourished me to keep me healthy and strong. May your blood flowed throughout my body to heal and restore me in mind and body.

As I eat your body and drink your blood my lips are smeared with your precious blood may it protect me from the wickedness and snares of the devil and from the toxics in my food and drink, and in the air I breathe in. Equip me, Lord, with the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit to prosper and succeed in all I do.

 Lord, keep me faithful to your teaching. And never let me be separated from you. Amen.
