Necessary Prayer to Do at Home During COVID-19

Please utilize the following resources for supplement in your prayer life and for the opportunity for Spiritual Communion if you are still unable to or uncomfortable attending Mass:

• Prayer for 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.
  
  More information on making a spiritual Communion is available here.
