The Catholic Defender: In Honor of Corpus Christi, Prayer of Eucharistic Consecration

Lord Jesus Christ, Bread of Life,

True God and True Man,

the Alpha and Omega,

truly present –

Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity – in the Blessed Sacrament,

I consecrate myself to You today without reservation.

Here I am Lord.

I come to do Your will.

Come and dwell within me.

Heal my body,

focus my mind,

transform my heart,and nourish my soul,

so that I may represent You faithfully in the many situations and circumstances of my daily life.

Lord Jesus Christ, truly present in the Eucharist, I consecrate myself to You today without reservation.

I hold nothing back.

I surrender completely and absolutely to Your goodness.

I know the plans You have for me:

Plans of prosperity and well-being,

plans for good and not evil, plans that give me hope and a future.

Lord Jesus Christ,

truly present in the Eucharist,

I consecrate myself to You today without reservation.

I surrender my whole being to Your care.

I surrender my life, my plans,

and my very self to You.

I place all that I am at Your feet.

I place all that I have at Your feet.

Take what You want to take and give me what You want to give.

Lord Jesus Christ,

truly present in the Eucharist,

I consecrate myself to You today without reservation.

Transform me.

Transform my life.

I trust in the eternal genius of Your ways.

I make myself 100 percent available to You.

Lead me, encourage me, challenge me.

Show me how I can collaborate with You,

and I will do what You ask with a joyful heart.

Lord Jesus Christ,

truly present in the Eucharist,

I consecrate myself to You today without reservation.

Grant me the grace, wisdom, and courage,

to live justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with You, my God, all the days of my life.

Angels and Saints, lead me in the ways of the pilgrim, so that one day I too may share in Heaven.

With His blessing and by His grace, bestow upon me your humility, generosity, and devotion, and I implore you to carry this prayer to our Eucharistic Lord.

Mary, Mother of Jesus,

teach my soul how to receive your Son in the Eucharist,

and how to represent Him in this world.

Teach me the surrender and sacrifice that were necessary to make the Eucharist possible in this broken world.

Intercede for me and obtain the grace necessary to allow your Son’s teaching to penetrate the darkest, coldest, hardest parts of my heart, so that by receiving Him in the Eucharist my heart may become ever more like His Eucharistic Heart. Amen.
