Traditional Catholic prayer

Act of Spiritual Communion

Source: With God: A Book of Prayers and Reflections (1911), Francis Xavier Lasance, page 322.

My Jesus, I believe that Thou art in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love Thee above all things, and I long for Thee in my soul.

Since I can not receive Thee now sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace Thee as already there and unite myself wholly to Thee; never permit me to be separated from Thee.
