My Journey to God

Prayer of Thanksgiving after Receiving Holy Communion

Oh, my Jesus,
Thank you for your great love,
which compelled you
to leave the glory of your Father
and come to Earth
as a helpless baby.
Thank you for suffering the trials
and temptations of human life
without sin.
Thank you for enduring humiliation,
and torture,
and death on the cross
to pay the debt for my sin.
Thank you for your resurrection power,
which raised you
and raises us.
Thank you for feeding us
with your Body and Blood,
Soul and Divinity
in the Holy Eucharist.
Lord, I am not worthy
that you should enter under my roof,
but you are the Word who heals my soul.
Amen.
