The following is the prayer for making spiritual communion:

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot now 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.

Are you interested in praying with Scripture? Do you want to read through the Bible? Father Mike Schmitz is hosting "The Bible In A Year," which has different episodes that include: two to three scripture readings, a reflection from Fr.
