Prayer after Communion

Almighty and everliving God,
we most heartily thank thee
for that thou dost feed us,

in these holy mysteries,
with the spiritual food of the most precious
Body and Blood of thy Son

our Savior Jesus Christ;
and dost assure us thereby
of thy favor and goodness toward us;
and that we are very members incorporate
in the mystical body of thy Son,
the blessed company of all faithful people;
and are also heirs, through hope,
of thy everlasting kingdom.
And we humbly beseech thee,
O heavenly Father,
so to assist us with thy grace,
that we may continue in that holy fellowship,
and do all such good works
as thou hast prepared for us to walk in;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost,
be all honor and glory,
world without end. Amen.
