Prayer Before and After Receiving Holy Communion for the Sick and the Aged

Prayer before Holy Communion

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Penitential Rite:

I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

The Word of God:

A reading from the holy gospel according to John 6:51
Jesus says:
   “I myself am the living bread
   come down from heaven.
   If anyone eats this bread,
   he shall live forever;
   the bread I will give
   is my flesh, for the life of the world.”
The Gospel of the Lord.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Lamb of God

Behold the Lamb of God,
behold him who takes away the sins of the world.
Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb

Lord, I am not worthy to receive you,
Lord, I am not worthy
that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word
and my soul shall be healed.

The Sick may now receive the Holy Communion

Prayer After Holy Communion

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.
Within your wounds hide me.
Permit me not to be separated from you.
From the wicked foe, defend me.
At the hour of my death, call me
and bid me come to you
That with your saints I may praise you
For ever and ever. Amen.
