MAKING AN

ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

​

when a Catholic is unable to receive Holy Communion, he or she is encouraged to make an act of Spiritual Communion. This is the prayer that we have offered during the live-stream of HOly Mass. Saint Alphonsus Ligouri is the author,

​

My Jesus,

I believe that You are present

n the Most Holy Sacrament.

I  love You above all things,

and I desire to receive You

into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment

receive You sacramentally,

come at least spiritually

into my heart.

I embrace You as if

You were already there

and unite myself wholly to You.

Never permit me

to be separated from You.

Amen.
