O Jesus, I believe that you have come to me in Holy Communion
because you have said it and your word is true.
O Jesus, receive my poor offering.
Jesus, you have given yourself to me,
now let me give myself to you:
I give you my body that it may be chaste and pure,
I give you my soul that it may be free from sin,
I give you my heart that it may always love you,
I give you every breath that I shall breathe and especially my last,
I give you myself in life and death
that I may be yours for ever and ever. Amen
