Prayer of Presence and Adoration
Jesus, my Lord and my God / I adore you present on our altar. / I bow down before you, my Savior and my God. ( pause to bow ) / Because of your great love and infinite mercy, / you have given us this wonderful sacrament / by which you are always with us. / Here I behold the fulfillment of your promise, / “I am with you always, even to the end of time.” / I knell before you in all my unworthiness. / I am disfigured by my sins. / Cover me with the mantle of your Divine Mercy. / Cleans me in the waters of forgiveness, flowing from your pierced heart. / It is not I who have sought you, you have sought me. / I was content to remain in the darkness of my unbelief. / I let myself be drawn in by the world, / by its persuasive arguments and its clever deceits. / Because of this, my faith has grown weak and uncertain. / I no longer love you as I once did. / I no longer trust you with my life. / My peace is gone, doubt and worry have invaded my soul. / Like Peter, sinking under the waves, / I cry out to you, “Lord save me! / Come O Lord with your healing Mercy. / Enkindle in my heart the fire of your love. / Send forth your Spirit to renew and strength my sagging heart. / Let me know again the consolation of your presence, / Let me acclaim with joy and certainty to all the world, / “Jesus is Lord! He is here with us now! / Reach out and touch Him and be healed!”

Collect
O God,
who in this wonderful Sacrament
have
left us a memorial of your Passion,
grant
us, we pray, so to
revere the sacred mysteries
of your Body and Blood
that we
may always experience in ourselves
the
fruits of your redemption.
Who live
and reign with God the Father
in the
unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God,
for ever and ever.
Prayer
over the Offerings
Grant
your Church, O Lord, we pray,
the
gifts of unity and peace,
whose
signs are to be seen in mystery
in the
offerings we here present.
Through
Christ our Lord.
Preface
It is
truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,
always
and everywhere to give you thanks,
Lord,
holy Father, almighty and eternal God,
through
Christ our Lord.
For at
the Last Supper with his Apostles,
establishing
for the ages to come the saving memorial of the Cross,
he
offered himself to you as the unblemished Lamb,
the
acceptable gift of perfect praise.
Nourishing
your faithful by this sacred mystery,
you make
them holy, so that the human race,
bounded
by one world,
may be
enlightened by one faith
and
united by one bond of charity.
And so,
we approach the table of this wondrous Sacrament,
so that,
bathed in the sweetness of your grace,
we may
pass over to the heavenly realities here foreshadowed.
Therefore,
all creatures of heaven and earth
sing a
new song in adoration,
and we,
with all the host of Angels,
cry out,
and without end we acclaim:
Consecration
Communion Antiphon Jn 6:57
On the
night of the Last Supper,
he took
bread and said the blessing,
broke
the bread and gave it to his disciples, saying:
take
this, all of you, and eat of it,
for this
is my body,
which
will be given up for you.
In a
similar way, when supper was ended,
he took
the chalice, gave you thanks
and gave
the chalice to his disciples, saying:
take
this, all of you, and drink from it,
for this
is the chalice of my blood,
the
Blood of the new and eternal covenant,
which
will be poured out for you and for many
for the
forgiveness of sins.
do this
in memory of me.
Communion Antiphon Jn 6:57
Whoever
eats my flesh and drinks my blood
remains
in me and I in him, says the Lord.
Prayer
after Communion
Grant, O
Lord, we pray,
that we
may delight for all eternity
in that
share in your divine life,
which is
foreshadowed in the present age
by our
reception of your precious Body and Blood.
Who live
and reign for ever and ever.
