Spiritual Communion

[Say the following prayer with a pure and loving, contrite heart]

My Jesus,

I believe that Thou art present in the Blessed Sacrament.

I love Thee above all things and

I desire to possess Thee within my soul.

Since I cannot receive Thee sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.

[Pause and reflect for a moment and say: “My Lord and my God, thank You, thank You, thank You, I love Thee, I love Thee, I love Thee, I trust in Thee, I trust in Thee, I trust in Thee, forgive me of all my sins, I love Thee.”]

Knowing that Thou art already there, I embrace Thee and unite myself wholly to Thee; permit me not that I should ever be separated from Thee.

Amen.
