Christ graciously hear us.

God the Father of Heaven,
Have mercy on us.
God the Son, Redeemer of the world,
Have mercy on us.
God the Holy Spirit,
Have mercy on us.
Holy Trinity, One God,
Have mercy on us.

Response: have mercy on us.

Living Bread, that came down from Heaven,
Hidden God and Saviour,
Wheat of the elect,
Wine of which virgins are the fruit,
Bread of fatness and royal dainties,
Perpetual Sacrifice,
Clean oblation,
Lamb without spot,
Most pure feast,
Food of angels,
Hidden manna,
Memorial of the wonders of God,
Super-substantial Bread,
Word made Flesh, dwelling in us,
Sacred Host,
Chalice of benediction,
Mystery of Faith,
Most high and adorable Sacrament,
Most holy of all sacrifices,
True Propitiation for the living and the dead,
Heavenly antidote against the poison of sin,
Most wonderful of all miracles,
Most holy Commemoration of the Passion of Christ,
Gift transcending all fullness,
Special Memorial of divine love,
Affluence of divine bounty,
Most august and holy Mystery,
Medicine of immortality,
Tremendous and life-giving Sacrament,
Bread made Flesh by the omnipotence of the Word,
Unbloody Sacrifice,
At once our Feast and our Guest,
Sweetest Banquet, at which angels minister,
Sacrament of piety,
Bond of charity,
Priest and Victim,
Spiritual Sweetness tasted in its proper source,
Refreshment of holy souls,
Viaticum of those who die in the Lord,
Pledge of future glory,

Be merciful, Spare us, O Lord,
Be merciful, Graciously hear us, O Lord.

Response: O Lord, deliver us.

From an unworthy reception of Thy Body and Blood,
From the lust of the flesh,
From the lust of the eyes,
From the pride of life,
From every occasion of sin,
Through the desire with which Thou didst long to eat this Passover with Thy disciples,
Through that profound humility with which Thou didst wash their feet,
Through that ardent charity by which Thou didst institute this Divine Sacrament,
Through Thy Precious Blood, which Thou didst leave us on our altars,
Through the five wounds of this Thy most holy Body, which Thou didst receive for us,

We sinners beseech Thee, hear us.

Response: we beseech Thee, hear us.

That Thou will preserve and increase our faith, reverence, and devotion toward this admirable Sacrament,
That Thou will conduct us, through a true confession of our sins, to a frequent reception of the Holy Eucharist,
That Thou will deliver us from all heresy, perfidy, and blindness of heart,
That Thou will impart to us the precious and heavenly fruits of this most holy Sacrament,
That at the hour of death Thou will strengthen and defend us by this heavenly Viaticum,
Son of God,

Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world,
Spare us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world,
Graciously hear us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world,
Have mercy on us.

V. Christ, hear us.
R. Christ, graciously hear us.
V. Thou didst give them Bread from Heaven. Alleluia.
R. Containing in Itself all sweetness. Alleluia.

Let Us Pray:

O God, Who in this wonderful Sacrament has left us a memorial of Thy Passion, grant us the grace, we beseech Thee, so to venerate the Sacred Mysteries of Thy Body and Blood, that we may ever continue to feel within ourselves the blessed fruit of Thy Redemption, Who lives and reigns, God forever and ever. R. Amen.
