Participating In Holy Communion
During These Difficult Times |
|
|
|
Wondering how you can participate in Holy Communion while watching Mass by way of Live Stream? Please pray the Spiritual Communion Prayer during the portion of Mass in which Holy Communion takes place. Please click here for the printable Spiritual Communion Prayer cards.
Spiritual Communion Prayer
My Jesus, I love you above all things. How I long to receive you with my brothers and sisters at the table you have prepared. Since I cannot at this moment receive you in bread and wine according to your promise in the sacrament of Holy Communion, I ask you to feed me with the manna of your Holy Spirit and nourish me with your Holy presence. I unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from your love. Amen.
