Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that you are truly 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 being already there

and unite myself wholly to you.

Never permit me to be separated from you.

Amen.

St Alphonsus Liguori

Dear Guardian Angel,

go for me to the church, there kneel down at Mass for me.

At the Offertory, take me to God, and offer Him my service:

What I am, what I have, offer as my gift.

At the Consecration, with your seraphic strength,

adore my Saviour truly present, praying for those who have loved me,

for those who have offended me, and for those now deceased,

that the blood of Jesus may purify them all.

During Holy Communion, bring to me the Body and Blood of Jesus

uniting Him with me in spirit, so that my heart may become His dwelling place.

Plead with Him, that through His sacrifice all people throughout the world may be saved.

When the Mass ends, bring home to me and to every home, the Lord’s blessing.

Amen.
