Almighty eternal God behold, I come to the sacrament of your Only Begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, as one sick to the physician of life, as one unclean to the fountain of mercy, as one blind to the light of eternal brightness, as one poor and needy to the Lord of heaven and earth. I ask, therefore, for the abundance of your immense generosity, that you may graciously cure my sickness, wash away my defilement, give light to my blindness, enrich my poverty, clothe my nakedness, so that I may receive the bread of Angels, the Kind of kings and Lord of lords, with such reverence and humility, such condition and devotion, such purity and faith, such purpose and intentions are conducive to the salvation of my soul. Grant, I pray that I may receive not only the Sacrament of the Lord's body and Blood, but also the reality and power of that Sacrament. O most gentle God, grant that I may so receive the Body of your Only Begotten Son our Lord Jesus Christ, which he took from the Virgin Mary, that I may be made worthy to be incorporated into His mystical body and to be counted among its members. O most Loving Father, grant that I may at last gaze forever upon the unveiled face of your beloved Son, whom I, a wayfarer, propse to receive now veiled under these species: Who lives and resigns with you for ever and ever. Amen.
