B5 SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
My Jesus, I believe that You are really present
in the most Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to possess You within my soul.
Since I am unable to receive you now sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as being already there,
and unite myself wholly to you;
never permit me to be separated from you.
A - men.
