Offertory Song

1. Where charity and love prevail,

   there God is ever found;

   Brought here together by Christ’s love,

   by love are we thus bound.

2. With grateful joy and  holy fear

   His charity we learn;

   Let us with heart and mind and soul

   now love him in  return.

3. Forgive we now each  other’s faults

   as we our faults confess;

   And let us love each other well

   in Christian holiness.

4. Let strife among us  be un - known,

   let all contention cease;

   Be his the glory that we seek,

   be ours his holy peace.

5. Let us recall that  in our midst

   dwells God’s begotten Son;

   As  members of His bo-dy joined,

   we are in  Him made one.

6. No race nor creed can love exclude,

   if honoured be God’s name;

   Our common life embraces all 

   whose Father is the same.

Prayer of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,

I believe that You are present

in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.

I love You above all things

and I passionately desire
to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,

come spiritually into my soul

so that I may unite myself wholly to You

now and forever. Amen. 

Based on a prayer of St Alphonsus Liguorit
