🙏 See below for the Act of Spiritual Communion:

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.

Please pray for me I have returned to watching the mass after many years but I work for a Protestant church and love my church family. I am so torn because I was raised in the Catholic Church. God help me hear your heart. Thank you so much!

Thanks for your messages and service to the Lord. I attended mass yesterday for the first time in 40 years, and you helped me listen to the Holy Spirit.

My husband has been watching your Sunday services when he has to leave mass with the kids (we have small children and two are ASD so they sometimes can’t handle it long). He has said every time he does, your messages speaks directly to him and his current situation (literally one day his back went out in service, went to listen to you in the car with a few of our kids and you were talking about back pain!).

Today I miss service due to Covid hitting our home. When I say it’s God wanting us to hear your message specifically, I don’t doubt it. You spoke to my heart and exactly where I am as I’m currently pregnant with number 6 and struggling financially and worried how I need to give more time and money to The Church because I so desperately want to. Your message truly spoke to me and helps me to see more clearly what God is asking of me.

Thank you for putting these online for those that are unable to attend Mass in person for whatever reason. Praying for you always! God bless you and keep you.
