Holy Communion — Prayers of Preparation (2)
Erasmus*We pray thee, O Lord, let thy Spirit purify our hearts, lest we come unworthily to the heavenly feast. Make manifest thy presence in the midst, that we may grow up into thee and become strong in spiritual growth. So grant that we may persevere in the blessed society of thy mystical body, which thou willest should be one with thee, as thou art one with the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit; to whom be praise and thanksgiving for ever and ever.
