O Lord, prepare my soul to receive You.
You have said, “He who eats my flesh
and drinks my blood lives in Me and I live
in him: as I myself draw life from the Father,
so whoever eats me will draw life from me.”
I come to You now that I may draw life from You.
Let me join You in adoring and thanking
our Heavenly Father, in making reparation
for sin and begging for the graces I need to serve Him
worthily and glorify Him daily more and more.
