praise you this night and thank you for the gift of your Eucharistic Presence.

You never leave us alone. You shared with us this sacred meal for us to
partake, and share with others, for our salvation. Transform us to your
image, and help us to live continually according to your law. May we
continuously show our love for the holy Eucharist, which is our way, truth and
life in our daily struggles until we come to see you in eternal glory. Amen.
