Prayers of an Altar Server
O God. You have graciously called me to serve You upon Your altar. Grant me the graces that I need to serve You faithfully and wholeheartedly. Grant too that while serving You, may I follow the example of St. Tarcisius, who died protecting the Eucharist. and walk the same path that led him to Heaven. St. Tarcisius, pray for me and for all servers.

Before Mass
Oh Jesus, my King and Lord, by the grace of the heavenly Father and the power of the Holy Spirit.
guide me in all righteousness as I serve You today at the Altar so I may be always worthy of Your presence.
If I happen to make an error, may it be a lesson so my service will be perfect tomorrow. Jesus. I love you with all my heart. Amen. St. Tarcisius, pray for me and for all servers.

After Mass
Lord Jesus, thank you for the opportunity to serve You during the Holy Mass. In Your Sacred Presence, my heart is filled with joy and peace. May Your Spirit always guide me so I may grow in Your love by the grace of the Heavenly Father. Amen.

Altar Server
To be Christ's page at the altar, To serve Him freely there. Where even the angels falter,
Bewed low in reverent prager To touch the throne most holy. To hand the gifts for the past. To see Him mekly, lowly, Descend at the word of the priest. To hear man's poor petition, To sound
the silver bell, When He in sweet submission, Comes down with us to dwell
No grander mission surely, Could saints or men enjoy, No heart should love more purely.
Than yours, my altar girl or boy God bless you forever. And keep you in His car And guard you that you never, Believe the robes you wear For while bespeaks untainted,
A heart both tried and true. And red tells love the sainted, And holy martyrs knew. Throughout life then, endeavor, God's Graces to employ. And be in heart forever. A holy alter girl or boy
