Sanctify and Purify and order me; make me clean, give me
Understanding
and Enlighten me; make me worthy to be the habitation of the
Only HolySpirit, and no longer a habitation of sin; so that as
Thine Abode from the
Entrance of Thy Holy Communion, every evil deed and passion may
flee
from me like fire. As supplicants I bring to Thee all those
whom Thou hast Sanctified: the
Leaders of the Angelic Powers; Thy Forerunner; Thine
Enlightened
Apostles; and further, Thy Pure and Spotless
Mother.Receive the Prayers of these, O Merciful Christ, and make
Thy slave a Child of
Light.For Thou art our Sanctification and our only Good, and the
Illumination of
our souls, and unto Thee as our God and Master each day as is
fitting, weascribe all Glory, Honour and Worship.
Amen
LORD JESUS CHRIST, OUR GOD, may Thy Holy Body be unto me
for Everlasting Life
and Thy Precious Blood for the Forgiveness of sins. And may this
Holy
Eucharist be Joy, Health and Gladness for me and at Thine awful
SecondComing make me, a sinner, worthy to stand at the right hand
of Thy Glory,
through the Intercessions of Thy Pure Mother and of all Thy
Saints. Amen.
