An 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.

A prayer of spiritual communion can be prayed at any time, even in the midst of your daily work by lifting up your thoughts to God.  The ultimate goal of our lives should be communion with God and an act of spiritual communion can help a person draw closer to that goal.  Bishop John
