I Believe, O Lord, and I Confess

I believe, O Lord, and I confess that Thou art truly the Christ, the Son of the living God, who camest into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

I also believe that this is truly Thine own most pure Body, and that this is truly Thine own precious Blood. Therefore I pray Thee: have mercy on me, and forgive me my transgressions, both voluntary and involuntary, of word, of deed, of knowledge and of ignorance; and vouchsafe me without condemnation to partake of Thy most pure Mysteries, unto the remission of sins and unto life everlasting. Amen.

Of Thy mystical Supper, O Son of God, accept me today as a communicant; for I will not speak of the Mystery to Thine enemies, neither will I give Thee a kiss as did Judas; but as the thief I confess Thee: Remember me, O Lord, in Thy Kingdom.

May the communion of Thy Holy Mysteries be neither to my judgement, nor to my condemnation, O Lord, but to the healing of soul and body. Amen.
