Prayer of spiritual communion

(St Alphonsus Liguori)

My Jesus,

I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all thin gs, and I desire to receive You into my sou l.

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
