    • A 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 in 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                             ---------------------------         

      Year of St. Joseph,
      Patron of the Universal Church
      Dec. 8, 2020 - Dec 8, 2021 

      Pope Francis begins his Apostolic Letter  Patris Corde inaugurating the year of St Joseph with the following words:  "WITH A FATHER'S HEART: that is how Joseph loves Jesus,". The Holy Father closes the Letter with the following words and prayer: We need only ask St. Joseph for the grace of graces: our conversion.  Let us now make our prayer to him:

    Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
    Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
    To you God entrusted his only Son;
    in you Mary placed her trust;
    with you Christ became man.
    Blessed Joseph, to us too,
    show yourself a father
    and guide us in the path of life.
    Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,
    and defend us from every evil. Amen.
