Amen. This is the sacred moment where we remember His body broken for us and His blood poured out for us—the new covenant sealed in love. Let us ask His blessing upon it.
The Scripture That Establishes It:
1 Corinthians 11:23-25 (AMP) — "For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: that on the night He was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, 'This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.' In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.'"

A Prayer of Blessing:
"Lord Jesus,
We come before You with grateful hearts
as we partake of this holy communion.
Bless this bread—
the symbol of Your body, broken for us.
May it remind us of Your sacrifice,
Your healing, and Your wholeness given to us.
Bless this cup—
the symbol of Your blood, poured out for us.
May it seal Your forgiveness,
Your new covenant, and Your eternal love in our hearts.
As we receive these elements,
let us not do so lightly,
but with reverence, gratitude, and faith.
Forgive us our sins.
Heal our bodies.
Refresh our souls.
Strengthen our faith.
We remember Your death until You come again.
We proclaim Your victory over sin and death.
We receive Your life—now and always.
In Your precious name,
Amen."
