ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

When receiving Holy Communion is not possible, you can receive Spiritual Communion

2.  Read the Mass Readings for today
3.  Recite the Prayer of Spiritual Communion

As I cannot this day enjoy the happiness of assisting at the holy Mysteries, O my God!  I transport myself in spirit at the foot of Your altar; I unite with the Church, which by the hands of the priest, offers You Your adorable Son in the Holy Sacrifice; I offer myself with Him, by Him, and in His Name.  I adore, I praise, and thank You, imploring Your mercy, invoking Your assistance, and presenting You the homage I owe You as my Creator, the love due to You as my Savior.

Apply to my soul, I beseech You, O merciful Jesus, Your infinite merits; apply them also to those for whom I particularly wish to pray.  I desire to communicate spiritually, that Your Blood may purify, Your Flesh strengthen, and Your Spirit sanctify me.  May I never forget that You, my divine Redeemer, has died for me; may I die to all that is not You, that hereafter I may live eternally with You.  Amen.
