Anyone who is vulnerable to the coronavirus because of age or other health issues should not attend public Masses or prayer time. People who feel sick or have any symptoms of sickness (fever, cough, etc.) should not attend. Please stay home and stay safe and draw close to Jesus through Spiritual Communion. Go down to Act of Spiritual Communion
From Bishop Boyea: The Eucharist is the primary reason why many attend Sunday Mass — to receive the body and blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ. The nature of this gift is so incredible that many have difficulty even believing it is real. Yet, that is what we believe. That this bread and wine become the body and blood, soul and divinity of our Lord. And what is more, that Jesus chooses to sustain us on our pilgrimage to heaven with this sacred food.
“The wind blows where it pleases; you can hear its sound,
but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going.
So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit” (John 3:8, NJB).
As we are not always prepared for or able to receive the Eucharist, it is helpful to make an ‘act of spiritual communion’ by prayerfully asking for the graces of the Blessed Sacrament whenever we are not able to physically receive it. For the Spirit moves as it pleases and God can grant tremendous blessings whenever and wherever. (Such prayer is advantageous for those who are not Roman Catholic and do not receive Communion at Mass. One may always ask God to provide the very same graces spiritually. This devotional act is well worth trying and is a beautiful way to participate at Mass.) In this way, we can spiritually commune with God hundreds of times a day if we like. Here are two common versions of this prayer; however, one may compose one’s own version as needed. You may even want to structure your own post-Communion prayer based on these humble sentiments of love and trustful surrender.
My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for you in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
– St. Alphonsus de Ligouri
