Spiritual Communion

"Holiness is not something we do for ourselves; it is something God does in us when we cooperate."

Cooperation has to come from the heart. 

The whole heart.

Jesus, I give you my heart. 

"Trust. Surrender. Believe. Receive." 33 Days to Eucharistic Glory  

Spiritual Communion Prayer 

Jesus, 

I believe that You are truly present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist. 

Everyday  I long for more of You.

I love you above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot receive You sacramentally at this moment, I invite You to come and dwell in my heart. 

May this spiritual communion increase my desire for the Eucharist. 

You are the healer of my soul. 

Take the blindness from my eyes, 

the deafness from my ears, 

the darkness from my mind, 

and the hardness from my heart.  

Fill me with the grace, wisdom, and courage to do Your will in all things. 

My Lord and my God, draw me close to You, nearer than ever before. 

Amen.
