Collect
Lord God, you adorned Saint Paschal with wondrous love for the sacred mysteries of the Body and Blood of your Son. Grant that we may derive the same spiritual riches from this divine banquet that he received. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Prayer over the Offerings
Lord, as we offer gifts at your altar grant us that spirit of devotion which you infused into Saint Paschal. With pure intention and fervent love may we direct our attention to this sacred rite, and celebrate a sacrifice pleasing to you and profitable to ourselves. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.

Taste and see the goodness of the Lord; blessed is he who hopes in God, alleluia.

Prayer after Communion
Lord, may the Sacrament we have received on this feast of Saint Paschal sanctify our minds and hearts that we may deserve to share your divine life. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
