Spiritual Communion

When you are unable to receive Holy Communion at Mass or while watching Mass on TV, you should pray a prayer of Spiritual Communion. For an explanation of what spiritual communion is, see the article “The secret to understanding spiritual communion in a time of video Masses” on the Angelus News website.

An Act of Spiritual Communion

By St. Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)

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.

Quote from St. Josemaría Escrivá

St. Josemaría Escrivá (1902-1975)

“I wish, my Lord, to receive you with the purity, humility, and devotion with which your most holy Mother received you, with the spirit and fervor of the saints.”

Spiritual Communion

Attributed to Servant of God Rafael Merry del Val (1865-1930)

At your feet, O my Jesus, I prostrate myself and I offer you repentance of my contrite heart, which is humbled in its nothingness and in your holy presence.

I adore you in the Sacrament of your love, the ineffable Eucharist. I desire to receive you into the poor dwelling that my heart offers you.

While waiting for the happiness of sacramental communion, I wish to possess you in spirit. Come to me, O my Jesus, since I, for my part, am coming to you!

May your love embrace my whole being in life and in death. I believe in you, I hope in you, I love you. Amen.
