Prayer for After Receiving Communion

Detail from over a door in the chapel at Riverside Church, Manhattan

O Lord Jesus Christ, who in a wonderful Sacrament hast left

unto us a memorial of thy passion: Grant us, we beseech

thee, so to venerate the sacred mysteries of thy Body and 

Blood, that we may ever perceive within ourselves the fruit of

thy redemption; who livest and reignest with the Father and

the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

(BCP 834)
