Prayer in Preparation for Mass by St. Thomas Aquinas Almighty and Eternal God, behold I come to the Sacrament of Your only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. As one sick, I come to the Physician of life; unclean, to the Fountain of mercy; blind, to the Light of eternal splendor; poor and needy, to the Lord of heaven and earth. Therefore, I beg of You, through Your infinite mercy and generosity, heal my weakness, wash my uncleanness, give light to my blindness, enrich my poverty, and clothe my nakedness. May I thus receive the Bread of Angels, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, with such reverence and humility, contrition and devotion, purity and faith, purpose and intention, as shall aid my souls salvation. Grant, I pray, that I may receive not only the Sacrament of the Lords Body and Blood, but also the reality and power of that Sacrament. O Most gentle God, grant that I may so receive the Body of Your Only Begotten Son our Lord Jesus Christ which He took from the Virgin Mary, that I may be made worthy to be incorporated into His Mystical Body and to be counted among its members. O most Loving Father, grant that I may at last gaze forever upon the unveiled Face of Your Beloved Son, whom I, a wayfarer, propose to receive now veiled under these species: Who lives and reigns with you forever and ever.
