Prayers Before Communion O my God, help me to make a good Communion. Mary, my mother, pray to Jesus for me. All you holy Angels and saints, pray for me. My dear Angel Guardian, lead me to the altar of God.

The Order of Preparation for Holy Communion These prayers are usually said the evening before or the morning that Holy Communion is to be received. Through the prayers of our holy fathers, O Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us. Amen. Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.

So before I take communion today, I’m asking You to truly search my heart and reveal hidden things for which to ask Your forgiveness. Each time I take communion, Lord, I want to recommit my life, my heart, my thoughts, my everything to You. Fill me today with Your powerful Spirit.

Here is an example of a type of prayer to say before you take communion. You don’t have to pray these exact words, but it is simply a guideline. Lord, I take the time to remember your great sacrifice for my sins. I remember your broken body and shed blood, not for anything you did wrong, but because you were paying the penalty for my sins.
