RESOURCES FOR AT HOME PRAYER
We are not able to receive our Lord in the Holy Eucharist or join together in community to worship at the Mass, but God is ever present to us during this difficult time. Here are some resources to help you pray at home.
​
Prayer of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in 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.

What is a spiritual Communion? Information on making a spiritual Communion is available here.
