Message from our Parochial Administrator
Page 3 January 17, 2021
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.
Amen.
