Appendix 2

THANKSGIVING AFTER COMMUNION

Act of Faith

O Jesus, I believe that I have received your Flesh to eat and your Blood to drink, because you have said it, and your word is true.

Act of Adoration

O Jesus, my God, my Creator, I adore you, because from your hands I came and with you I am to be happy for ever.

Act of Love

Sweet Jesus, I love you; I love you with all my heart. You know that I love you, and wish to love you daily more and more.

Act of Thanksgiving

My good Jesus, I thank you with all my heart. How good, how kind you are to me, sweet Jesus! Blessed be Jesus in the most holy Sacrament of the Altar.

Act of Offering

O Jesus, receive my poor offering. Jesus, you have given yourself to me, and now let me give myself to you.

I give you my body, that it may be chaste and pure.

I give you my soul, that it may be free from sin.

I give you my heart, that it may always love you.

I give you my every breath that I shall breathe, and especially my last, I give myself in life and in death, that I may be yours for ever and ever.

SOUL OF CHRIST

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.

Body of Christ, save me.

Blood of Christ, inebriate me.

Water from the side of Christ, wash me.

Passion of Christ, strengthen me.

O good Jesus, hear me

Never let me be separated from you.

From the wicked enemy defend me.

In the hour of my death, call me.

And bid me come to you,

So that with your saints

I may praise you for ever and ever.

Amen.
