We have incorporated Spiritual Communion into our online worship.
Spiritual Communion is a rite that assures us that even when we are physically unable to receive the Bread and Wine of the Eucharist,
we nevertheless receive the grace promised by Christ's presence in the sacrament.
This a personal devotional that anyone can pray at any time to express their desire to receive Holy Communion at that moment,
but in which circumstances impede them from actually receiving Holy Communion.
~We do this using the following prayer~
My Jesus, I believe that you are truly present in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar.
I desire to offer you praise and thanksgiving as I proclaim your resurrection.
I love you above all things, and long for you in my soul.
Since I cannot receive you in the Sacrament of your Body and Blood,
come spiritually+into my heart.
Cleanse and strengthen me with your grace, Lord Jesus,
and let me never be separated from you.
May I live in you, and you in me, in this life and in the life to come.
Amen.
