Eucharistic Ministers

Prayer for an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion

Lord, as the apostle John stood next to Your Son’s Cross,
so I am privileged to stand
next to Your Altar Table
and serve in the Holy Sacrifice of the mass.
In a long tradition of priestly people,
I am grateful for the honor that is mine.

May my behavior and the attitude of my heart
reflect that holy honor
as I strive to serve in a sacred way.
With awe and wonder, I will hold in my hands
the Body of Christ and His Sacred Blood,
so that my sisters and brothers
may be fed with the Food of Life.
Make my heart and hands clean.
Free me from anything of vanity and pride
that might divorce me and the service that is mine
from the heart of the Divine Mystery
residing in this Holy Meal.

May I, with Your Constant Assistance,
truly wait upon You and Your people
in this Holy Liturgy of Praise and Adoration. Amen.
(Prayers for the Servants of God, Edward Hays, Ave Maria Press.)

More Eucharistic ministers are needed at 7:00 AM and 12:15 PM Masses. If you can move to one of those Masses, please contact Kim Hourton at 303-927-0590 or by email.

If you go to one of those Masses, please check in at the Ministers Sacristy before Mass to offer your help. We almost always need extra ministers. This would really help!
