Prayer After Communion

My heart is filled with joy and my tongue with rejoicing. My soul magnifies the Lordand my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. I have come to You, O Lord, so that Youclothe me with purity that I may be worthy of Your joy. Let my union with You todaybe everlasting, for it makes me grow in virtue and strengthens my faith and my hope.Let this communion be a symbol of my salvation, a robe of blessing for my new birthand for the purity of love. Let it be an everlasting joy for my soul and an answer tomy prayers before Your dreadful altar. Here I submit to Your mercy, that I may unitewith You and that You may lead me according to Your will. Guide my thoughts, mysenses and my desires, O Lord, bless them so that they may be at Your command.Revive my soul and alert my conscience. Disperse all images of the enemy and orderthe storms to calm. Be with me and quiet all my fears. Quench my thirst and kindlethe fire of Your love in my heart. Complement all my deficiencies and abide with meuntil the end, for You alone are my goal and my pleasure, You alone, O Lord, now andforever.

Amen
