Master, Lover of mankind, and we ask Thee, and
pray Thee, and supplicate Thee, vouchsafe us to
partake of Thy heavenly and dread Mysteries of
this holy and spiritual Table, with a pure
conscience, unto remission of sins, unto pardon of
offenses, unto communion of thy Holy Spirit, unto
inheritance of the kingdom of heaven, unto
boldness towards Thee; not unto judgment, nor
unto condemnation.
