An Act of Spiritual Communion

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
