It is truly worthy to glorify You as the Mother of God, always Blessed and Immaculate, and the Mother of our God. We magnify You as the true Mother of God, who painlessly gave birth to God the Word, worthy of greater honor than the Cherubim, and incomparably more glorious than the Seraphim.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and always, and forever and ever. Amen.
Lord, have mercy. (Thrice)
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother, our reverend and God-bearing fathers and all the saints, have mercy on us. Amen.
Immediately before Communion, if possible, recite to yourself the following verses of Symeon Metaphrastus:
Here I begin to receive divine communion. Creator, do not burn me with communion! For You are the fire that burns the unworthy. But cleanse me from all uncleanness.
Then say:
Accept me today as a participant in Your mystical Supper, Son of God, for I will never reveal the secret to Your enemies and will not give You such a kiss as Judas, but, like a thief, I openly express my faith in You, saying: “Remember me, Lord, in Your Kingdom!”
And the following verses:
Man, tremble at the sight of the divine Blood! She is a fire that burns the unworthy. The Body of God deifies and nourishes me: it deifies the spirit, incomprehensibly nourishes the mind.
Then the troparia:
You attracted me, Christ, with love and changed me with a holy desire for You. My sins have been consumed by immaterial fire, and I am worthy to sweetly enjoy You, so that I may glorify Your two comings with rejoicing.
How can I, unworthy, enter into the bright host of Your saints? After all, if I decide to enter the bridal chamber with them, my clothes will give me away, for they are not the kind they wear to a wedding, and I will be bound and expelled by the Angels. Cleanse, Lord, the impurity of my soul and save me, as a Lover of mankind.
Also the prayer:
Master - O Lord, Lover of mankind, Jesus Christ my God, let this Shrine be to me not as an accusation for my unworthiness, but as a cleansing of soul and body and as a pledge of future life and the Kingdom. It is good for me to cleave to God, to place my hope in the Lord for my salvation.
And again:
Accept me today as a participant in Your mystical Supper, Son of God, for I will never reveal the secret to Your enemies and will not give You such a kiss as Judas, but, like a thief, I openly express my faith in You, saying: Remember me, Lord, in Your Kingdom!
