P: From 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 all occasions to sin;
R: Good Lord, deliver us.

P: By that desire which Thou hadst to eat the Passover with Thy disciples;
By that great love with which Thou didst institute this holy sacrament;
By Thy most sacred body and precious blood which Thou hast left us in the Sacrament of the Altar;
By the wounds which Thou receivedst for us and by Thy death upon the cross:
R: Good Lord, deliver us.

P: We poor sinners beseech Thee:

R: To hear us, O Lord God.

P: That it may please Thee to preserve and increase in us faith, reverence, and devotion towards this wonderful sacrament.
That it may please Thee to bring us by a true confession of our sins to a frequent and worthy use of this holy sacrament;
That it may please Thee to deliver us from all heresy, unbelief, and hardness of heart;
That it may please Thee to grant us the precious fruits of this most holy sacrament;
That it may please Thee to comfort and defend us in the hour of our death that as by faith we now praise Thee, so we may hereafter behold Thee face to face in heaven:
R: We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord.

P: Son of God:
R: We beseech Thee to hear us.

P: O Lamb of God, that takest away the sin of the world:

R: Have mercy upon us.
P: O Lamb of God, that takest away the sin of the world:

R: Have mercy upon us.
P: O Lamb of God, that takest away the sin of the world:

R: Grant us Thy peace. Amen.
