Welcome to our online parish community.  We may be separated by distance but we are joined by our common baptism.  Please remember those who are finding life difficult in your prayers.

Spiritual Communion

"When you cannot receive Holy Communion and you do not attend Mass, you can make a spiritual communion, which is a most beneficial practice; by it the love of God will be greatly impressed on you” [St. Teresa of Avila, The Way of Perfection, Chapter 35].

Prayer 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 myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
