Amen. 2. See,to divineCommunion I draw near; My Maker,burn me not as I partake, For you are fire consumingthe unworthy; But thereforemake me cleanfrom every stain. Of your mysticalSupper, Sonof God,receive me todayasa communicant; for I will not tell of the Mysteryto your enemies; I will not give you a kiss, like Judas; you: Remembut like the Thief I confess ber me, Lord, in your Kingdom. Master,loverof mankind,Lord Jesus Christ,my God, let not theseholy Mysteriesbe for my condemnation because of my unworthiness, but ratherfor the cleansing andsanctification ofboth soulandbody, and asa pledge of the life andkingdomto come.It is good for me to cleave to God,to placein the Lord the hopeof my salvation.
