From the pride of life,
From all occasion of sin,
By the desire with which thou desiredst to eat this Pasch with thy disciples,
By the sovereign humility with which thou washedst thy disciples' feet,

By thy precious Blood, which thou hast left us on the altar,
By this thy most holy Body's five wounds, which thou receivedst for us,

Deliver us, O Lord.

We, sinners, Beseech thee hear us.

That thou wouldst vouchsafe to increase and preserve in us faith, reverence, and devotion towards this admirable sacrament,

That thou wouldst vouchsafe to deliver us from all heresy, perfidy, and blindness of heart,
That thou wouldst vouchsafe to impart to us the precious and heavenly fruits of this most holy sacrament,
That thou wouldst vouchsafe to strengthen and fortify us with the heavenly Viaticum at the hour of our death,
Son of God,

We beseech thee, hear us.

O God, who, in this wonderful sacrament, hast left us a memorial of thy Passion; grant us, we beseech thee, so to venerate the sacred mysteries of thy Body and Blood, that we may ever feel within us the fruit of thy redemption; who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
