Lord Jesus Christ,<br> | |||
I approach your banquet table in fear and trembling,<br> | |||
for I am a sinner,<br> | |||
and dare not rely on my own worth,<br> | |||
but only on your goodness and mercy.<br> | |||
I am defiled by many sins in body and soul,<br> | |||
and by my unguarded thoughts and words.<br> | |||
Gracious God of majesty and awe,<br> | |||
I seek your protection,<br> | |||
I look for your healing.<br> | |||
Poor troubled sinner that I am,<br> | |||
I appeal to you, the fountain of all mercy.<br> | |||
I cannot bear your judgment,<br> | |||
but I trust in your salvation.<br> | |||
Lord, I show my wounds to you and uncover my shame before you.<br> | |||
I know my sins are many and great,<br> | |||
and they fill me with fear,<br> | |||
but I hope in your mercies,<br> | |||
for they cannot be numbered.<br> | |||
Lord Jesus Christ, eternal king, God and man,<br> | |||
crucified for mankind,<br> | |||
look upon me with mercy and hear my prayer,<br> | |||
for I trust in you.<br> | |||
Have mercy on me,<br> | |||
full of sorrow and sin,<br> | |||
for the depth of your compassion never ends.<br> | |||
Praise to you, saving sacrfice,<br> | |||
offered on the wood of the cross for me and for all mankind.<br> | |||
Praise to the noble and precious blood,<br> | |||
flowing from the wounds of the my crucified Lord Jesus Christ and washing away the sins of the whole world.<br> | |||
Remember, Lord your creature,<br> | |||
whom you have redeemed with your blood;<br> | |||
I repent my sins,<br> | |||
and I long to put right what I have done. Merciful Father, take away all my offenses and sins;<br> | |||
purify me in body and soul,<br> | |||
and make me worthy to taste the holy of holies.<br> | |||
May your body and blood,<br> | |||
which I intend to receive, although I am unworthy,<br> | |||
be for me the remission of my sins,<br> | |||
the washing away of my guilt,<br> | |||
the end of my evil thoughts,<br> | |||
and the rebirth of my better instincts.<br> | |||
May it incite me to do the works pleasing to you and profitable to my health in body and soul,<br> | |||
and be a firm defense against the wiles of my enemies. Amen. | |||
