When receiving communion what do you say and the priest say?

What do we say to make the priests prayer our own?
I am assuming that by the "priest's prayer" you are referring to the priest praying at the altar during Mass? The simple answer is that if you don't "make it your own" you may as well skipped Mass because you are there to unite yourself with the priest's offering of the bread and wine, so that when they are consecrated, and become the Body and Blood of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ: you, through your offering of yourself along with them, and then by making a GOOD Holy Communion, and receiving Our Blessed Lord WORTHILY into yourself make His offered salvation your own. If you are not making the priest's prayer your own, then you are not making a worthy Holy Communion, and will receive only Our Blessed Lord's condemnation at the end. Remember that in order to make a worthy reception of Holy Communion, you must have been to confession recently. To receive Holy Communion in a state of serious sin is to "eat and drink judgment on yourself" - see St. Paul.
Why do you say the lamb of god before communion?
The phrase "Lamb of God" is a reference to Jesus Christ, who is seen as the sacrificial lamb who takes away the sins of the world. By saying this before receiving communion, believers are acknowledging Jesus' sacrifice for their sins and expressing gratitude for the salvation he offers through his death and resurrection.
Do Muslims have a sacrament similar to Holy Communion - receiving the bread of life?
No, not really. The focus during service is mainly on the sermon and prayer. There is no personification or symbolic eating due to the strict monotheistic tone of the religion. Muhammad, nor any other prophet of the religion, is thought to be a direct connection/relative of God/Allah, and therefore, no such sacrament exists. Furthermore, receiving Communion is unaccepted in Islam because Jesus is thought to be a prophet, much like Moses, Noah, etc, and not a begotten son of God. God is thought to not have been begotten, nor does he beget. He is eternal and omnipresent. There is only one god, and he has no human form. Lets just say Muslims don't believe in communion.

Why do people form an x with their arms to not receive Catholic communion?
Traditionally only communicants (those receiving communion) should process and present themselves to the Priest or Eucharistic Minister. Sometimes those not eligible to receive communion process and they cross their arms to signify that they should not be offered communion. If a priest is distributing communion they may say a quick blessing on the person. This started when parents did not want to leave young children in the pews and so brought them forward. Most churches prefer that only communicants process as this speeds up communion.
