Lord Jesus Christ, You are the bread of life and the one true vine.
As we hear you say, "This is my Body, this is my Blood”, may we come to believe more deeply that you are present with us.
Be present in our hearts as we search for you, as we wait for you, as we long for you.
Open our hearts more fully to those you call your body, especially the poor, the sick, the sad and the lonely.
Joined to you in the Eucharist, the whole of creation gives thanks to God.
May we all become a full part of that thanksgiving as members of your body and of the world your Father has created.
or
Prayer of St Alphonsus
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love you above all things and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive you in Holy Communion, at least spiritually come into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.
