Invocatio Post Communionem
O Lord God almighty, thy blessed Son! who graciously hearest them that call upon thee in uprightness, who knowest the prayers of those even who are silent; we thank thee for thou hast deemed us worthy to partake of thy sacred mysteries thou hast given to us, for fully strengthening our faith in those things which we so well know, for the preservation of piety, and for the forgiveness of our sins; for the name of thy Christ has been invoked upon us, and we have been joined to thee.
O thou who has separated us from communion with the ungodly, unite us with them that are consecrated to thee, strengthen us in the truth, by the coming of the Holy Ghost, teach us the things we know not, supply our deficiencies, confirm us in the truths we already know.
Preserve thy priests blameless in thy service. Keep kings in peace, magistrates in justice, the air salubrious, thy fruits in abundance, the world in thy almighty providence. Pacify nations that are waging war. Convert them that are astray.
Sanctify thy people; preserve thy virgins; keep in fidelity them that are in wedlock; strengthen the chaste; lead little ones to mature age; confirm the newly initiated; teach the catechumens and make them worthy of initiation; and gather us all together into the kingdom of heaven, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
To whom, together with thee, and the Holy Ghost, be glory, honor, and adoration for ever. Amen
And then I thank Jesus for humbling Himself to enter into my Heart and my Soul and I praise Him as the light of the world and I ask Him to burn away all of the darkness and shadows of sin in my heart and my soul and to complete His work in me so that I may become the Ol' Mick He has always desired I be rather than the Ol' Mick I have always chosen to be.
SALVATION
SANCTIFICATION
He desires we be Holy as His Heavenly Father is Holy and He works His will through us - if we aught but cooperate - via His Sacraments, all of which are, substantially, Him freely sharing His Divine Life with us to the extent we are properly disposed to receive Him; We must be in a state of grace.
2 Peter 1: As all things of his divine power which appertain to life and godliness, are given us, through the knowledge of him who hath called us by his own proper glory and virtue. By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these you may be made partakers of the divine nature: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world.
God became man so man could become God was the axiom of Saint Athanasius
Pope Leo the Great, rightly noted about Jesus; The Risen Christ has passed over into the Sacraments
