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


Communion Song:

In the breaking of the bread,

we knew him, Lord Jesus.

Were not our hearts, yearning for the Word of God?


In the breaking of the bread,

we knew him, Lord Jesus.

Alleluia, Alleluia


2. Put your hand here, see the place of nails.

Blessed are those who have not seen, but believe.


In the breaking of the bread,

we knew him, Lord Jesus.

Alleluia, Alleluia


3. Risen is Christ, he who died for us. 

Risen is Christ, shepherd who died for his flock.


In the breaking of the bread,

we knew him, Lord Jesus.

Alleluia, Alleluia


4. Sing to the Lord, all you nations, praise.

Great is our God, worthy to be praised.#


In the breaking of the bread,

we knew him, Lord Jesus.

Taste and see, see your God and believe.

In the breaking of the bread,

One bread, one cup show our oneness in God.

Recessional Song


VERSE 1:

Sing of one who walks beside us

and this day is living still

one who now is closer to us

than the thoughts our hearts distil.

One who once upon a hilltop

raised against the pow'r of sin,

died in love as his own creatures

crucified their God and King!



VERSE 2:

Strangers we have walked beside him

the long journey of the day,

and have told him of the darkness

that has swept our hope away.

He has offered words of comfort,

words of energy and light;

and our hearts have blazed withing us

as he saved us from the night.



VERSE 3:

Stay with us, dear Lord, and raise us

once again the night is near.

Dine with us and share your wisdom,

free our hearts from every fear.

In the calm of each new evening,

in the freshness of each dawn,

if you hold us fast in friendship

we will never be alone.
