Prayer Before Communion of Saint Symeon the New Theologian

Holy Communion

Addressing God as

Behold, I approach for Divine Communion. O Creator, let me not be burned by communing, for ThouYou artare fire that consumes the unworthy. Purify me from every stain.

From lips defiled, from a heart abhorrent, from an unclean tongue and a soul polluted, receive my prayer, O my Christ. Do not reject my words, nor my ways, nor my shamelessness, but grant me to say boldly what I desire, O my Christ.

Teach me what I ought to do and say. ThouYou hasthave forgiven the harlot her sins and those of others; ThouYou hasthave accepted the thief who came to TheeYou in repentance. Let me also, wretched as I am, receive the forgiveness of my many sins, for ThouYou artare the only Lover of mankind, and to TheeYou we send up glory, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
