O God who hath ordained these Holy Mysteries for a commemoration of our Saviour’s wonderful love in laying down his life for us; and for the communication of the benefits of his death and passion to us; we beseech thee to dispose all those who intend to be made partakers of them, to come to Thy Holy Table with such sincere repentance of all their sins, and unfeigned resolutions of better obedience; with such an humble faith and ardent love unto Thee and to all men: That they may comfortably hope for Thy precious pardon, and for the power of the Holy Spirit, to carry them, by patience in well doing, unto eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
