A Prayer
of Thanksgiving After Holy Communion
from Saint Basil the Great
O Master, Christ our God, King of the ages, and
Maker of all things: I thank thee
for all the good things which thou hast bestowed upon me, and for this partaking
of thine immaculate and life-giving Mysteries. Wherefore I pray thee, who art good and lovest mankind: Keep me under thy protection, and in
the shadow of thy wings; and grant unto me with a pure conscience and even unto
my last breath, to partake of thy holy Mysteries, unto remission of sins and
unto life everlasting. For thou
art the Bread of Life, the Fountain of holiness, the Giver of good things, and
unto thee we ascribe glory: To the
Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: Now and ever, unto ages of ages. Amen.
