In the Traditional Latin rite, the formula is:

Corpus Domini nostri Jesu Christi custodiat animam tuam in vitam aeternam.
May the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve your soul unto everlasting life.

In the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod church where I have the honor, unworthy as I am, to be a worship assistant, we can say:

"John, this is the Body of Christ, broken for you."
"Sarah, this is the Blood of Christ, shed for you."

More often, we say,
"John, this is the true Body of Christ broken for YOU."
"Sara, this is the true Blood of Christ, shed for YOU."

I do agree that this should be given and taken with all due reverence. He shed His blood for me; He allows me to be an instrument by which others may participate in this holy meal. How great is His mercy and forbearance, and willingness to pardon!
