Occasional Prayers

Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly thank thee that thou didst choose bread and wine to be the emblems of thy sacred Body and Blood, given on the cross for the sins of the world, and didst command us thus to remember thee. Deepen our repentance, strengthen our faith, and increase our love for the brethren, that, eating and drinking the sacrament of our redemption, we may truly feed on thee in our hearts with thanksgiving, for the sake of thy great and worthy name.
