Spiritual Communion

Some suggested formulas for Spiritual Communion:

• I believe, O my Redeemer, that You are truly present and alive in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You, I repent of having offended You. Come into my soul which desires You. I embrace You, my love, I give myself all to You, do not let me ever separate myself from You. (Saint Alphonsus Liguori)
• O Mary, my good Mother, I come to You with an ardent prayer: in a few moments I will receive my God, the God You love so much! But in order to receive Him well, I need virtues, and I have none. You, my good Mother, who are so rich in all kinds of goods, give me Your faith, Your hope, Your charity, Your obedience, Your humility, Your simplicity, in a word, all Your virtues, to make my heart more beautiful and to make it pleasing to my Jesus.
• Eternal Father, I offer You the precious Blood of Jesus Christ for the atonement of my sins and the needs of the Holy Church. Prostrate before You, I adore You, O God hidden in the Host. My heart surrenders itself entirely to You. O Jesus, hidden in the Eucharist, please grant to the ardour of my desires the happiness of seeing You one day in Heaven and contemplate Your ineffable glory. O Mary, receive in Your Mother’s arms Jesus, who is being immured on the altar and who is going to descend into my heart. Adore Him, thank Him, console Him, beg Him, offer Him, love Him for my sake.
• I desire You a thousand times O my Jesus. When will You come to satisfy my soul that sighs after You! I would like to fly to Your tabernacle to console You for the outrage that so many men cause You by rejecting You and, by my repentance and my love, to make You forget my own ingratitude.
• O my good Angel, go, I implore You, where my Jesus rests. Tell this divine Savior that I love Him with all my heart. Invite this divine Prisoner of Love to come into my soul, to make His sojourn there.
• O Jesus whom I would so much like to receive, I adore You, I love You, I desire You.
• I adore You, O true Body of my Savior Jesus Christ, who was attached to the Cross for me. I adore You, O precious Blood of my Savior Jesus Christ, who was shed on Calvary.
• My beloved Jesus, I believe that it is You that I am going to receive. I firmly believe, but increase my faith.
• My Jesus Host, I adore You and bless Your sovereign domain.
• It is You my beloved Jesus that I am going to receive. You, very great! very good! very holy! And it is I, weak creature, feeble, guilty, who will have this happiness! Oh, I’m not worthy! Jesus, my sweet Jesus, convert me!
• It is because I love You, O my Jesus, that I hate all the sins of my life. How I wish to change them into repentance of love.
• I expect everything from You, O Father, everything: Your grace and forgiveness here on earth, Your glory and the enjoyment of Your face one day in heaven.
• I love You, O my Jesus, and I desire to receive You with all the fervor of Your divine Mother and all Your Saints!
