Sunday's Prayer

[from the prayer we offer on Sundays in Treasury, p. 1306]

O merciful Lord, where You in the mystery of the Sacrament of Your body and blood make an entrance among Your people, there grant that all the faithful may bow in holy fear and humility before You and that all whom You Yourself feed may receive the sacred gift not impenitently to their judgment, but as a medicine of eternal life. Look not upon the sins we commit against You this day, and bring to nothing all the plans of the evil foe. Let the Last Day come soon, so that we, released from all strife, may behold You with all saints and angels face-to-face and sing our praises to You better than we are now able. Amen. Yes, come Lord Jesus! Amen.
