How to make an Act of Spiritual Communion
If you can’t get to Mass, you can make an Act of Spiritual Communion:
- Make the Sign of the Cross
- Read the Mass readings
- Recite the Prayer of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe 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.

“Ki te ingoa o te Matua, o te Tamaiti, o te Wairua Tapu. Āmene.”
