Spiritual Communion Prayer
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
