An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Dearest 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.

Daily Mass with Bishop Barron
In light of measures being taken to contain the outbreak and avoid further illness, many of us
may be hesitant to leave our homes. In many areas, Mass and other church services may not
be available. It is at this exact moment that our faith is most needed. In an effort to continue
the practice of our faith in these trying times, Bishop Barron would like to invite you to join us
online for daily Mass. Word on Fire will be offering daily Mass for the foreseeable future.
Right here https://www.wordonfire.org/daily-mass.
If you cannot attend Mass or join us online, I encourage you to read the Gospels, pray with your
families, and join yourself to the Eucharist—the source and summit of our Catholic faith—by
making an act of spiritual communion like the one recommended by Archbishop Gomez: "I
wish, my Lord, to receive you with the purity, humility, and devotion with which your most holy
Mother received you, with the spirit and fervor of the saints."
An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Dearest 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.
Sunday Obligation and Spiritual Communion
If you are sick, you are not obligated to participate in Sunday Mass. However, to the best of
your ability, you are encouraged to spend time in prayer, giving thanks to God and praying for
the needs of the world and your needs. Consider the following:• Read your Bible• Read the
Sunday readings and listen to the reflectionhttp://www.usccb.org/bible/reflections/• Pray the
Liturgy of the Hours using the Laudate app for mobile devices, which includes prayers, daily
readings, ect.
