(BIRTHDAY PRAYER)
Priest: …………………………
Prayer Before Receiving the Blessed Sacrament
O Bread coming down from heaven,
To nourish every man,
Grant that I may partake of Thee,
In all pure desire,
adoration
and Godly fear.
O gladsome Wine of Life,
May I be intoxicated
by Thy love.
O Thou who did cry saying:
Who so ever is at thirst
Let him come unto me
and drink,
Behold my soul in thirst
Hath come to Thee
to be assuaged by the water of life.
O God,
I am not worthy,
that Thou should come into my heart.
Do Thou speak a word to heal my soul
Which is thirst for you
Even more than the thirst of the deer
to the streams of water.
O cup of blessing and salvation,
O heavenly manna,
and bread of life
Do Thou dwell in me forever more.
Amen.

I will dwell in them who receive my blood
And sacred Body, said savior our Lord.
Those who receive me in faith, purity
Will remain indeed my friends for ever

For salvation, Lord, of our Humble souls.

We will obtain life everlasting indeed.
