An Act 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 to 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, O merciful Jesus, Your infinite merits;
apply them also to those for whom I 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
