On Holy Week on Good Thursday, Christians remember the Last Supper, attend church, take communion and pray before icons. Before the last supper, believers read a prayer.
I believe, O Lord, I confess openly, I declare that You are truly Christ, who came into the world of sinners to save, of whom the first (first), that is, the greatest (great) is I. I also believe that this is Your most pure Body, and this is Your most honest Blood. Therefore I pray to You: Have mercy on me and forgive me the sins of your own free will and against my will, which I did by word or deed, knowing and not knowing that it was sinful. Deserve me with impunity to partake of your most pure sacraments for the forgiveness of your sins and for eternal life.
Son of God, make me a partaker of Your Last Supper: I will not reveal secrets to Your enemies, nor give You a kiss like Judas, but like a thief who repented on the cross, I believe in You, and I say to You, “Remember me, O Lord, in Your kingdom!”
Jesus! Let me receive the communion of Your Holy Mysteries, not for judgment or punishment, but for the healing of soul and body. Amen! ?
