Our Lady Help of Christians Church, Rickmansworth, London

MAKING AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION The Church teaches that a deep spiritual communion is possible even when we do not share together the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ.  So, as you participate in Mass via live-stream, at Holy Communion you might like to pray this prayer based on a prayer of St Alphonsus Ligouri: My Jesus, I believe that you are present in this Holy Sacrament of the altar. I love you above all things and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come spiritually into my soul so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever. Amen.
