Prayer After Receiving Our Lord in the Eucharist
Lord Jesus, thank you for giving Yourself to me
under the appearance of this bread and this wine; thank you for making Your Whole
Self available to me, just one of the over 7 billion human beings whom You have
brought into existence, temporarily residing on this small planet within the
vast universe You created! How awesome, loving, and merciful You are to give
Your entire Self to me; Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, a Gift that will nourish
me and provide me with the grace to be able to one day see Your precious face,
and experience the joy of being in Your presence for eternity! This is life’s
greatest Gift - You in the Eucharist! There is no more valuable Gift we will
ever be privileged to receive on this journey back to You! Lord, as I receive
You in this Eucharist, I ask, that in Your unending mercy, You extend the grace
I receive today to all those, whom for whatever reason, will not, or cannot
partake in this precious Gift today! Please help me to go beyond mere words in
expressing my thanks to You! Let me draw upon the grace you provide to act in a
way that expresses my love and appreciation. Make my heart like yours, and help
me to become worthy to be used as an instrument through which You draw others
to Your Way, Truth, and Life! Thank You, Lord, for giving Yourself to me!
