A Prayer of St. Basil the Great
Master, Christ our God, King of the Ages, Maker of all things, I thank You for all the good things You have given me, especially for the communion with Your most pure and life-creating Mysteries. I pray You, gracious Lover of mankind: preserve me under Your protection, beneath the shadow of Your wings. Enable me, even to my last breath, to partake worthily and with a pure conscience of Your holy things, for the remission of sins and unto life eternal. For You are the Bread of Life, the Fountain of Holiness, the Giver of all Good; to You we ascribe glory, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
