An Act 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 me wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
 
Amen.

 

Praise the Lord!

Listen to our virtual choir sing Hold On to Love by Jesse Manibusan. Let us all hold on to love!
