Thanksgiving After Communion

LET my heart and my soul, together with all the whole substance of my flesh, all my senses, and all my powers of mind and body give praise and thanks to thee, O sweetest Jesus, in union with all the creatures of thy hand, for the condescending mercy which thou, O most faithful Lover of our salvation, hast deigned to show me, most unworthy, in this sacred banquet of thy Body and Blood. O my sweetest God, were all the moments of my life uninterrupted acts of thanksgiving to thee, yet could I not answer or render thee for one of a thousand. Wherefore, acknowledging my utter insufficiency, I offer unto thee, O most blessed Trinity, all the praises and thanksgivings which the most sacred Humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ rendered thee throughout his whole earthly life, and especially when he instituted this Sacrament.

Receive also, O compassionate Father, all those thanksgivings which the blessed Virgin Mary and all thy Saints have ever rendered thee with all their heart and all their soul, and especially when they have received this Sacrament; and mercifully grant that all my insufficiencies and my negligences may be supplied and satisfied for by their abundance and perfection. Amen.
