OFFERING OF HOLY COMMUNION AS VIATICUM
My God, if I am to die today or suddenly at any time I wish to receive Holy Communion as my Viaticum. I desire that my last food my be the Body and Blood of my Savior and Redeemer; my last words; Jesus, Mary and Joseph; my last affection, an act of pure love of God and of perfect contrition for my sins; my last consolation to die in Thy Holy Grace and in Thy Holy Love.
BEFORE COMMUNION
Come, Jesus, Come!
My poor soul calls for Thee and awaits Thee.
Comfort my poor soul distressed
Come and dwell within my breast,
My Savior, Jesus, come to me.
With all my heart I long for Thee,
Most firmly I believe in Thee,
Most truthfully I hope in Thee,
Most ardently I love Thee.
Then, come, O Jesus
Come to me.
