A Prayer for First Holy Communion Lord Jesus

Bless the children coming forward to receive Holy Communion for the first time on Sunday.

May it be an initial step into a life-long love of the Eucharist. 

Give them a hunger for this sacred food so that they turn to you for comfort, guidance, and wisdom as they grow into full discipleship. 

Thank you for their innocence and goodness. 

May their hands, extended in anticipation of your Body and Blood, inspire all of us to cherish this sacred sacrament. 

Amen
