A Prayer of Eucharistic Longing for Christ

+
A very rare image of Christ found in an English church.


MOST DEAR LORD JESUS CHRIST,
graciously fill me with true charity,
that I may ever hunger after thee, 
the Bread of Angels,
the refreshment of holy souls.

Grant that I may ever long to feed upon thee,
and that my inmost soul may be filled
with a desire for thy goodness.

Grant that my soul may ever thirst for thee,
the fountain of life,
the fountain of wisdom and knowledge,
the fountain of eternal light,
the joy and the richness of the house of God. Amen.
