Father,
May this sacred Host
Stay on my tongue today,
Then I will grow more like your Son
In everything I say.
Father,
May this precious Host
Become part of my mind,
Then I will grow more like your Son,
For my thoughts will be kind.
Father,
May this blessed Host
Be drawn into my heart,
Then I will grow more like your Son,
And choose the better part.
Father,
May this perfect Host
Remain within my soul,
Then all I think, and say, and do
Will help make others whole.
