Make 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.”
From this weeks newsletter:
Dear Parishioners, thanks to all for your continued support of the parish services. We have had a lot of positive feedback from within the parish and beyond. I am sorry that some of you have been experiencing some transmission difficulties, we are trying to sort these out. If there are problems with your reception, it sometimes works better if you turn off and reconnect. We are trying to sort out some of the problems with the service provider.…God Bless, Fr Tom
