St. Eugene's Cathedral, Derry

Act of Spiritual Communion-My Jesus, I believe you are present in the Blessed Sacrament. I love you above all things and I long to be united with you in my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally I request you to come spiritually into my heart. I adore you now in the Sacrament of your Love, the wonderful gift of the Eucharist. I believe now that you have come to me body, blood, soul and divinity. I believe I have received your flesh to eat and your blood to drink in the Holy Communion. I thank you for this gift of yourself to me and now I pledge myself to you. I promise you all my thoughts this day and ask that these be thoughts which put the will of God my Father and the need of my neighbour before my own selfish interests.

The Little Way Novena Prayer

God our Father,you have promised your kingdom to those who are willing to become your little children. Help us, like Thérèse our sister, to know our poverty of spirit so that we might be dependent on you. Transform us through the holiness of your Spirit into flames of love, burning with compassion for those who are sick, those who are unfree, those who feel unloved, those in any kind of need. May we, your missionaries of the third millennium, be your fire of love setting this world ablaze with your presence, so that all people will know and love Jesus Christ your Son, our Saviour and brother.  Amen.
