Communion of the Priest

P. I will take the Bread of heaven, and call upon the Name of the Lord.

P. Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But say the word and my soul will be healed.

(said three times)

P. May the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul to life everlasting. Amen.

P. What return shall I make to the Lord for all He has given me? I will take the chalice of salvation, and I will call upon the Name of the Lord. Praising will I call upon the Lord and I shall be saved from my enemies.

P. May the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul to life everlasting. Amen.
