The Divine Service reaches its apex at the Altar, where the celebrant offers the Anaphora, the Eucharistic Prayer that the Western church has also called the Great Thanksgiving, which carries the entire church family into communion with Jesus Christ. That prayer belongs to the whole congregation, and it constitutes the corporate church’s preparation for Holy Communion, a preparation embedded in the liturgy itself and renewed every Lord’s Day. However, the church’s corporate preparation has never exhausted the communicant’s own devotion, because historic Christian piety has always afforded each Christian critical moments of personal prayer surrounding the Sacrament: repentant prayers of preparation before communing, known in the tradition as the praeparatio ad Communionem, and joyful prayers of thanksgiving after communing, the gratiarum actio post Communionem. These twin disciplines have been, and ever will be, vital to Christian spirituality, constituting an indispensable act of devotion to our manifest Lord Jesus, who comes to us at the Altar as the Bread of Life, His body true food and His blood true drink. Prex Eucharistica: Prayers of Preparation and Thanksgiving for Holy Communion, by Rev. Dr. John J. Bombaro, now places that discipline back in the communicant’s hands.
