for those affected by the virus and for our parish of Blessed Trinity

SPIRITUAL ACT OF 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.
