Lord Jesus,

Bless the children who are receiving the Sacrament of First Eucharist.

May this be an initial step into a life-long love of the Eucharist.

Give them a hunger for this sacred food so that they turn to you for comfort, guidance and wisdom as they grow into full discipleship.

Thank you for their innocence and goodness.

May their hands extended to receive your Body and Blood, inspire all of us to cherish this sacred sacrament.

Amen.
