Spiritual Communion Prayer
       
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.
