A Spiritual Communion
MY JESUS, I believe that You are in
the Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I long for YOU in my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You Sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You Have already come,
I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You:
never permit me to be separated from You.
