Lord, I praise You and thank You for coming to us in this sacrament You have given to us, by which we may approach You. I pray that I receive You to my salvation and sanctification, and not to my condemnation; and that You suffer me never to be farther from You than I am at this moment.
Since it is sometimes said that the Father can resist no request made to Him at the time of communion, I sometimes make petitions in the following form (I try not to dwell on them too much; focus should be more on communion during communion, so to speak, and there are other times to offer petitions):
Heavenly Father, for the breaking of Your Son's Body and the shedding of His Blood, I pray for X.
If I receive under both species, I split it up and pray through the Body and through the Blood when I receive each, respectively.
