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 at the foot of Thine altar.  I unite with the Church, which by the hands of the priest, offers Thee Thine adorable Son in the Holy Sacrifice.  I offer myself with Him, by Him, and in His Name.  I adore, I praise, and thank Thee, imploring Thy mercy, invoking Thine assistance, and presenting Thee the homage I owe Thee as my Creator, the love due to Thee as my Saviour.

Apply to my soul, I beseech Thee, O merciful Jesus, Thine infinite merits; apply them also to those for whom I particularly wish to pray.  I desire to communicate
spiritually, that Thy Blood may purify, Thy Flesh strengthen, and Thy Spirit sanctify me.  May I never forget that Thou, my divine Redeemer, hast died for me; may I die to all that is not Thee, that hereafter I may live eternally with Thee.  Amen.
