On this day when [N.] receives the Body of Christ for the first time, let us pray to the Lord for these children, for their families, and for the world.

  1. Pour l'Église

    That the Church may nourish her children with the Word and the Eucharist, and be a place where each one grows in faith. Lord, hear our prayer.

    Lord, hear our prayer.

  2. Pour le Monde

    For children who lack access to education, food, or love; may our solidarity reflect the charity of Christ. Lord, hear our prayer.

    Lord, hear our prayer.

  3. Pour les Souffrants

    For children who are sick or disabled, and for their families who surround them with courage; may Christ strengthen them with His presence. Lord, hear our prayer.

    Lord, hear our prayer.

  4. Pour les communiants

    For [N.] and all the children receiving their First Communion: may this Bread of Life be the source of their joy and spiritual growth. Lord, hear our prayer.

    Lord, hear our prayer.

Father, You give us Your Son in the Eucharist. Grant to the children who receive Communion today the grace to remain faithful to this encounter throughout their lives. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
