O John Chrysostom, our Father, the grace that shines forth from your mouth like a torch has enlightened the universe. It implanted in the world the treasure of the love of poverty; it showed us the great value of humility. Instruct us by your words, and intercede with the Word, Christ-God, for the salvation of our souls.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:

Most blessed Venerable, John Chrysostom, you have received divine grace from heaven; and with your lips you teach all how to worship one God in the Trinity. Deservedly we praise you, for you are the Teacher, revealing the things of God.

Now and ever, and forever. Amen.

O gentle Protectress of Christians, unfailing Mediatrix before the Creator, do not despise the prayerful voices of sinners; but, in your goodness, hasten to assist us who trustfully cry out to you: "Inspire us to prayer, and hasten to hear our supplication. Intercede always, Mother of God, in behalf of those who honor you."

PRAYER OF ST. BASIL THE GREAT

O Lord my God, I give thanks to You; for You have not rejected me, a sinner, but have deemed me worthy to be a partaker of Your holy Mysteries. I thank You for having granted that I, unworthy as I am, be a partaker of Your most pure and heavenly Gifts. 0 Lord Who loves mankind, You died and rose again for our sake; and You have given us these awesome and life-giving Mysteries for the good of our body and for the sanctification of our soul. Grant that they serve me for the healing of my body and soul, and that they may set to flight every foe.

Enlighten the eyes of my heart; give peace to the powers of my mind; inspire me with a faith in which there is no shame, with a sincere love and a deep wisdom, and with obedience to Your commandments.

May these Mysteries increase Your divine grace in me and make me dwell in Your kingdom. Being preserved in Your holiness by them, I will remember Your love at all times. From now on I will not live for myself, but for You, my Lord and Benefactor. Thus, having spent my earthly life in the hope of life without end, I will, one day reach eternal rest where the sound of rejoicing never ceases, where the delight of those who look upon the beauty of Your face has no bounds.

For You, Christ our God, are truly the object of our desire, and the inexpressible joy of those who love You; and all creatures glorify You forever and ever. Amen.

PRAYER OF ST. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM

O Christ our God, You have deemed me worthy to be a partaker of Your most pure Body and most precious Blood. I praise, bless, and adore You; I glorify You and extol Your eternal salvation, now and ever, and forever. Amen.

PRAYER OF ST. CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA

O most holy Lady, Mother of God, light of my poor soul — my hope, my protection, my refuge, my comfort, and my joy! I thank you for having enabled me to be a partaker of the most pure Body and most precious Blood of your Son.
