A Prayer of Spiritual Communion:
In union, blessed and gracious Lord,
with the faithful gathered at every altar of your Church
where your blessed Body and Blood are offered this day,
I long to offer you praise and thanksgiving, for creation and all the blessings of this life,
for the redemption won for us by your life, death, and resurrection,
for the means of grace and the hope of glory.
I believe that you are truly present in the Holy Sacrament,
and, since I cannot at this time receive communion, I pray you to come into my heart.
I unite myself with you and embrace you with all my heart, my soul, and my mind.
Let nothing separate me from you; let me serve you in this life until, by your grace,
I come to your glorious kingdom and unending peace.
Amen
