Prayer to Jesus in the Holy Eucharist
"My Body"
"This is My Body, given up for you." Lord Jesus,
we hear Your words each day at Mass.
You have used these words to teach us the meaning of Your love for us, a love
that brought You to the cross to give Your life so we might live. You use these
words also to teach us the meaning of our love for one another, a love which
leads us to give ourselves away that others might live.
"This is my body." Lord, we also hear these words
used by those who think they can take life, just because that life is growing
within their body. We hear these words distorted by those who support abortion.
Grant that all Your people may learn that human fulfillment
is never found by pushing someone else out of the way, but only and always by
pushing ourselves out of the way. May all Your people live their lives
according to Your most sacred words, "This is my body, given up for you!"
