St. Theohan the Recluse

Fortified by ineffable love of God for you, approach the Holy Communion with holy fear and love, saying: "I am unworthy, O Lord, to receive Thee; for many and many a time have I angered Thee by my sins, and have not yet mourned all my wicked deeds. I am unworthy, O Lord, to receive Thee; for I have not yet cleansed myself of the dispositions and attachments to what is not pleasing to Thee. I am unworthy, O Lord, to receive Thee, for I have not yet surrendered in all sincerity to Thy love, Thy will and obedience to Thee. O my God, all powerful and infinitely good! In Thy merciful loving-kindness, do thou Thyself make me worthy receiving Thee, for I run to Thee with faith." - St. Theophan the Recluse
