Prayer for
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion


Heavenly Father, I thank you for calling me to serve you and your people in this community as an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist. You know that I could never be worthy of such an exalted honor. Help me to be less unworthy by remaining free from sin. Let me nourish your people with the witness of my life as I feed them with the Body of Christ.

Grant your strength and holiness to all your extraordinary ministers and make us worthy to bring Christ to others.

In Jesus’ name, I pray.

Amen.
