JUNE – SPECIAL MONTH OF THE EUCHARIST
SUGGESTION OF PRAYERS
OPTION 1: PRAYER WITH A EUCHARISTIC THEME
John 6: 48-51
Gather your Church together into your kingdom
I thank you, Father, for the knowledge of Jesus and for letting me share my life with him. And I thank you for your Church, which proclaims his Gospel to me and through which he chooses to be with me, in his Word and Sacrament and in his mighty, yet silent presence in the world.
I pray for the Church, that it may be gathered together around your table.
For as the Bread of Life, which we eat, was once scattered as grain over the fields and then gathered again to become one loaf, so may your Church be gathered together from the ends of the earth and united as one in your Kingdom.
Remember, Lord, your Church. Deliver it from all evil and make it perfect in your love, and gather it from the four winds into your kingdom. [For yours is the power and the glory for ever. Amen]
(Youcat English Youth Prayer Book page 70)
OPTION 2: PRAYER WITH A EUCHARISTIC THEME
Heavenly Father, source of all life!
Send us your Holy Spirit, that we may recognize and grow in the love of Christ present in the Eucharist, who handed himself over for us!”
He is our Lord and our Master, our friend and our food, our healer and our peace.
Give us the courage to take his strength and his joy to every person!
Grant us, that this month of the Eucharist would serve the spiritual renewal of our community, cities, nations and the world. Amen
OPTION A: PRAYER OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
The following prayer is appropriate for those not be able to receive the Holy Eucharist in person. If you watch a broadcast Mass, consider reciting this special prayer, an Act of Spiritual Communion, during Communion time:
“My Jesus,
I believe that You are present
in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.”
Amen.
(St. Thérèse of Lisieux)
(O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine
all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine. (Recite 3 times)
OPTION B: PRAYER OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
I believe that You, O Jesus, are in the most holy Sacrament. I love You and desire You. Come into my heart. I embrace You. Never leave me. May the burning and most sweet power of Your love, O Lord Jesus Christ. I beseech You, absorb my mind that I may die through love of Your love, who were graciously pleased to die through love of my love. (Saint Francis)
(O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine
all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine. (Recite 3 times)
