Prayers Before Mass.

Almighty and ever-living God, I approach the Sacrament of Your only-begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

I come sick to the doctor of life, unclean to the fountain of mercy, blind to the radiance of eternal light, and poor and needy to the Lord of Heaven and Earth.

Amen.

Prayer After Mass.

Lord Jesus Christ, take all my freedom, my memory, 

my understanding, and my will. All that I have and cherish You have given me. 

I surrender it all to be guided by Your will. 

Your Grace and Your Love are enough for me. 

Give me these, Lord Jesus, and I ask for nothing more.

Amen.
