    St. James, and St. Joseph.

  • Act of Spiritual Communion

    Below is a traditional Prayer of Spiritual Communion. It can be prayed if you find yourself unable to receive the Eucharist, or even in the midst of your daily work, lifting up your thoughts to God. 
    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.
