Thanksgiving after communion. Prayers of thanksgiving for Holy Communion in Russian

The communion itself takes place as follows: those receiving communion or communicants approach the Holy Chalice, this should be done with deep humility, accept the Holy Mysteries and immediately swallow them. Next, the deacon, using a special cloth, wipes the lips of the communicant. Then the communicant needs to kiss the Holy Chalice and make a bow before. After which you need to go to a special table where there are prosphora and cups of water (warmth), eat the prosphora and wash it down with warmth. At the same time, you need to wash your mouth so that not a single particle of the body of Christ remains in it. Participants should know that only after receiving the warmth will they be able to approach and venerate the icons. At the end of the service, those who received communion come to the cross, where they listen to prayers of thanksgiving after communion, and only after that can they go home.

In what cases are prayers of thanksgiving for Holy Communion read at home?

If, for some reason, prayers of thanksgiving for Holy Communion were not read in church, you need to do this yourself when you return home; you can find them in any prayer book. On the day of communion, you need to maintain the purity of your soul, cleansed of sins, for as long as possible. If possible, it is better to devote this day to studying the word of God. One should abstain from everything unspiritual and idle: avoid empty talk, watch less TV, do not join, refrain from smoking. It is necessary to observe moderation in food. Archpriest Andrei Tkachev advises that on the day of communion, after listening to the prayers of thanksgiving for Holy Communion in church, read them again at home. It is advisable to do this several times, because they are filled with meaning; reading them many times, or at least repeating them once on the day of communion, increases the feeling of gratitude to God in the soul. Communion is medicine for the soul and body, it is unity with God.

Kontakion, tone 3

Glory: You, Father Gregory, / appeared as an imitator of the Chief of the Shepherds of Christ, / directing hosts of monks into the heavenly courtyard, / and therefore you taught the sheep of Christ His commandments. / Now you rejoice with them and rejoice / in the heavenly abodes.

With the highest honor of the Cherubim / and incomparably more glorious than the Seraphim, / who gave birth to the virgin God the Word, / the true Mother of God, we magnify You.

After Communion, let everyone remain in purity, abstinence and laconicism, in order to worthily preserve the accepted Christ within himself.

Communion is one of the most important sacraments Orthodox Church. It cleanses a person’s soul and fills it with grace. Reading prayers of thanksgiving is an integral part of this ritual, because they help express the jubilation and joy that every Christian experiences after communion of the Holy Mysteries.

Holy Sacrament The Savior himself established the sacrament at the Last Supper: he divided the bread among his disciples and explained that, having tasted the food, they would receive the holy Flesh of Christ. Then the Son of God blessed the cup of wine and called on the apostles to drink from it, explaining that this was his blood shed for humanity. Christ commanded this Sacrament to be performed until the end of time, so that it would serve as a reminder of His Great Sacrifice and open the way to eternal life for people.

To this day Holy Communion is one of the main rituals in the life of every Christian. Symbolically eating the flesh and blood of Christ, a person partakes of the Holy Mysteries in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven after completing his earthly journey.

How to properly prepare for communion

Reception of the great Sacrament requires special spiritual and physical preparation. A Christian must analyze the path he has traveled, realize his mistakes, repent of his sins and have a firm intention to get rid of them and change his life for the better.

A few days before communion, if your health allows, you need to fast: limit your consumption of eggs, dairy products, and meat. You should refrain from attending entertainment events and idle activities and concentrate on your spiritual life, devoting more time to reading the Bible and prayers.

Communion is necessarily preceded by confession - repentance for sins committed. Confession cleanses the soul of heavy burdens and prepares it to receive Divine grace. You also need to prepare for confession: for example, before it you need to follow a special prayer rule.

How to Approach Communion Correctly

After the priest reads the main prayer - “Our Father” - you need to approach the altar. When the Holy Chalice is brought out, you should approach the priest in order, holding your hands folded on your chest (right over left), say your name given at baptism, and accept the Holy Gifts, then kiss the bottom of the Chalice.

Prayers of thanksgiving are read after Communion of the Holy Mysteries.

Prayers of Thanksgiving

I thank You, Lord, for not rejecting me, an unworthy sinner, but deigning me to partake of Your Holy Mysteries. Lord of Heaven, for the sake of people, who died and rose again, who gave us the life-giving Sacrament for the benefit and sanctification of our souls and bodies, let the Communion of Your Holy Mysteries for me be for the healing of soul and body, the expulsion of filth and evil, for the enlightenment of my spiritual eyes, for faith true, in sincere love, in fulfillment of Your Great Commandments, in communion with Your Divine Grace and ascension into the Kingdom of Heaven. We protect you with Your holiness, I remember Your Grace and I entrust my life to You. For You are the joy of all who love You, Christ our God, and all who live on earth sing Your glory forever and ever. Amen.

May Thy Sacred Body, Lord our God, Jesus Christ, grant me the path to the Kingdom of Heaven, and may Thy Honest Blood be for the remission of sins. This thanksgiving will bring me great joy and happiness. At Your second coming, deign me, a sinner, to contemplate Your Glory, through the prayers of Your Most Pure Mother and all the saints.

Holy Mother of God, the light of my oppressed soul, my hope, refuge, consolation and joy! Thank you for deigning me, a sinner, to partake of the Most Pure Body and Holy Blood of Your Son. Having given birth to the true light, enlighten my heart, open my spiritual eyes; having given birth to the source of immortality, bring me back to life, bending under the weight of sins; Merciful Mother of God, have mercy on me, give me peace and humility in my thoughts, and strength against sinful thoughts.

Thanksgiving for every good deed of God

It is advisable to read prayers of thanksgiving every day. Thank the Lord for every day you live, for the blessings sent down to you, for great gift– health, for the happiness of children. For everything you have on this moment, even if, from your point of view, this is not so much.

Saint Gregory the Theologian wrote: “The Lord thirsts to be thirsty, and fills those who want to drink; He accepts it as a good deed if they ask Him for a good deed. He is accessible and generously gives great gifts, giving with greater joy than others accept on their own. Just by not revealing a low soul, asking for what is unimportant and unworthy of the Giver.”

Song of the Lord Jesus Christ:
The only begotten Son and the Word of God, immortal, and willing for our salvation to be incarnate from the Holy Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, immutably made man, crucified Christ God, trampling death by death, the only one of the Holy Trinity, glorified to the Father and the Holy Spirit, save us.
In Your Kingdom, remember us, O Lord, when You come to Your Kingdom.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for for them is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are those who cry, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Blessed ones are merciful, for they will receive mercy.
Blessed are those who are pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for these shall be called sons of God.
Blessed is the expulsion of truth for the sake of them, for those are the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are you when they revile you, and destroy you, and say all sorts of evil things against you for lying to Me.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is abundant in heaven.

Psalm 22

The Lord shepherds me and will deprive me of nothing. In a green place, there they settled me, on the calm water they raised me. Convert my soul, guide me on the paths of righteousness, for Your name’s sake. Even if I walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me: Your rod and Your club will comfort me. Thou hast prepared a table before me to resist those who are cold against me: Thou hast anointed my head with oil, and Thy cup makes me drunken, like a mighty one. And Thy mercy will marry me all the days of my life, and let us dwell in the house of the Lord for the length of days.

Prayer 5, to the Most Holy Theotokos

Most Holy Lady Theotokos, light of my darkened soul, hope, protection, refuge, consolation, joy, I thank Thee, for Thou hast vouchsafed me, unworthy, to be a partaker of the Most Pure Body and Honest Blood of Thy Son. But She who gave birth to the true Light, enlighten my intelligent eyes of the heart; You who gave birth to the Source of immortality, revive me, killed by sin; Even the merciful Mother of God, have mercy on me, and give me tenderness and contrition in my heart, and humility in my thoughts, and appeal in the captivity of my thoughts; and grant me, until my last breath, to receive consecration of the most pure Mysteries without condemnation, for the healing of soul and body. And give me tears of repentance and confession, to sing and praise Thee all the days of my life, for Thou art blessed and glorified forever. Amen.
Now do You let Your servant go, O Master, according to Your word, in peace: for my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared before the face of all people, a light for the revelation of tongues and the glory of Your people Israel.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us (three times).

Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name's sake.
Lord, have mercy (three times).
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as it is in heaven and on earth. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors; and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

And now: The intercession of Christians is not shameful, the intercession to the Creator is immutable, do not despise the voices of sinful prayers, but advance, as the Good One, to the aid of us who faithfully call Thee: hasten to prayer, and strive to supplicate, ever interceding, the Mother of God, who honor Thee.

Kontakion, tone 3

Glory: You appeared to the Chief to be the shepherd of Christ, the monks of the succession, Father Gregory, instructing the heavenly fence, and from there you taught the flock of Christ with His commandment: now you rejoice with them, and rejoice in the heavenly roofs.
And now: The intercession of Christians is not shameful, the intercession to the Creator is immutable, do not despise the voices of sinful prayers, but advance, as the Good One, to the aid of us who faithfully call Thee: hasten to prayer, and strive to supplicate, ever interceding, the Mother of God, who honor Thee.
Lord, have mercy (12 times). Slava: And now:

Troparion, tone 4

Give thanks to Thy unworthy servants, O Lord, for Thy great good deeds upon us; we glorify Thee, bless, thank Thee, sing and magnify Thy compassion, and slavishly cry out to Thee in love: O our Benefactor, glory to Thee.

Kontakion, tone 3

As a servant of indecency, having been honored with Your blessings and gifts, Master, we earnestly flow to You, giving thanks according to our strength, and glorifying You as the Benefactor and Creator, we cry out: Glory to You, All-Bountiful God.

Glory even now: Theotokos

Theotokos, Christian Helper, Your servants, having acquired Your intercession, cry out to You in gratitude: Rejoice, Most Pure Virgin Mother of God, and always deliver us from all our troubles with Your prayers, One who will soon intercede.

Song of praise, St. Ambrose, bishop Mediolansky

We praise God to you, we confess the Lord to you, the whole earth magnifies your eternal Father. To You all the angels, to You the heavens and all the powers, to You the unceasing voices of the cherubim and seraphim cry: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts, the heavens and earth are full of the majesty of Your glory. To you is the glorious apostolic countenance, to you the prophetic number of praise, to you the bright martyr’s army praises, to you throughout the entire universe the Holy Church confesses, the Father of the incomprehensible majesty, the worshiped
Your true and only begotten Son and Holy Comforter Spirit. You are the King of glory, Christ, You are the ever-present Son of the Father: You, having received man for the deliverance, did not disdain the Virgin’s womb. Having overcome the sting of death, you have opened the Kingdom of Heaven to believers. You sit at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father, come and believe in the Judges. We therefore ask you: help your servants, whom you have redeemed with your honest blood. Make it worthy to reign with Your saints in Your eternal glory. Save Thy people, O Lord, and bless Thy inheritance, I will correct and exalt them forever: we will bless Thee all the days, and we will praise Thy name forever and ever. Grant, Lord, that on this day we may be preserved without sin. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: may Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we trust in Thee: in Thee, O Lord, do we trust, that we may not be ashamed forever. Amen.
