Worship of the Most Pure Mysteries of Christ

Divinity of Christ! Shine on me, have mercy on me! Soul of Christ! Have mercy on me, save me! Body of Christ! Nourish me, strengthen me! Blood of Christ! Give me drink, sanctify me! Water of Christ's ribs! Wash me, cleanse me! Christ's free suffering and death! Heal me, revive me! Cross of Christ! Protect me with your power, revive me and cover my head on the day of struggle! O sweet Jesus! Delight my heart with Your love and hide me in Your bloody wounds! O my dear Lover! Do not step away from me and do not allow me to be away from You even for a short time! O my all-powerful Savior! Deliver me from my enemies! O most merciful Sustainer and Manager of my life! Direct my paths to salvation; at the hour of my death, send me good representatives and command my sinful soul to meekly separate from my damned body; keep me from the airy spirits and at Your Last Judgment do not deprive me of my gums, so that I may glorify Your great mercy with all those who glorify You forever. Amen. After the fragmentation of the particles of the Body of Christ: “Thou hast prepared a table before me to resist those who were cold against me; thou hast anointed my head with oil; and Your Cup makes me drunken, like a mighty one” (Ps. 23:5). After the usual prayer before communion, say with your mind: “Take up the gates and gates of my heart, and the King of glory will come in” (Ps. 23:7). Come in, my Light, and enlighten my darkness! Enter, my Life, and resurrect my deadness! Come in, my Physician, and heal my wounds! Enter, O Divine Fire, and the thorns of my sins fell, kindle my insides and my heart with the flame of Thy love! Come in, my King, and destroy the sinful kingdom in me; sit on the throne of my heart and reign in me, You are my only King and Lord! After eating the Body of Christ: how sweet is the God of Israel with a right heart! How sweet Christ is to those who love Him sweetly! Delight me with Your love, Sweetest Jesus! Before the Holy Chalice: “What shall I render to the Lord for all His good deeds to me? I will take the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord” (Ps. 115:3-4). After partaking of the Blood of Christ: You are all desire, all sweetness, the Word of God, the Son of the Virgin, God of gods, Lord, Most Holy of Holies; We all magnify you and the Mother who gave birth. Bow down to the ground and say: “Glory to Thee, O God,” three times and the usual prayers of thanks. Then the following: Sweetest Jesus, Greatness of my soul, Joy of my spirit, Sweetness of my heart, My Glory, lifting up my head, be with me and in me inseparably always and with Your omnipotent right hand keep me with You and in You, so that I cleave to You, my Lord, in one spirit with You; so that all my thoughts, words and deeds may be in You, about You and You, for without You I can do nothing, “that I may not live for myself, but for You, my Lord and Benefactor” (from the first prayer of thanks for Holy Communion); so that all my bodily and mental feelings work not for me, but for You, my Creator, by Whom they live and move; so that all my mental and physical strength may serve You, my Redeemer, in Whom and in Whom they rest, and so that my whole life, until my last breath, may be, my God, to the glory of Your most holy name. Amen. To the Mother of God: Most Holy and Ever-Virgin Mother of God, who gave the Son of God flesh and blood from Your most pure and most holy womb! I thank You that You have made me, unworthy, worthy to be a partaker of the same Flesh and Blood, through the communion of which I am united with Your Son and my God; I believe and confess You as a gracious Mother and pray: make me undeniable all the days of my life. O Thy motherly mercy, child-loving mercy! O my sweetest Divine meal! You are like a life-giving ear that gave birth to the world a grain of wheat - Christ. You are the God-planted Vine, who has vegetated for us a ripe grape – Jesus! Feed me always with this imperishable Bread; always give me this life-giving drink to drink, so that, drinking now under their sights and looking at how good my God is, how kind my Lover is, how desirable my Lord, I would then be honored to see Him openly face to face, and together I would always enjoy the sight of Your bright face forever, when Your glory appears to me. Amen.
