Video: Act of Spiritual Communion

March 16, 2020

Paulist Father Paul Rospond shares this classic prayer by St Alphonsus Liguori when one is not able to receive communion.


 

“My Jesus,
I believe that you are present in this Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things
I desire to receive you into my soul.

Since I cannot, at this moment, receive you in the Sacrament
come spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you
and unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.”

– “Act of Spiritual Communion” by St. Alphonsus, prayed Sunday evening by Paulist Fr. Paul Rospond in the chapel of our motherhouse in New York City
