Gracious Father, we give you praise and thanks for this Holy Communion of the Body and Blood of your beloved Son  Jesus Christ, the pledge of our redemption; and we pray that  it may bring us forgiveness of our sins, strength in our  weakness, and everlasting salvation; through Jesus Christ  our Lord. Amen.

Let us bless the Lord. Thanks be to God.
