MAY 24, 2020 THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD
An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at
least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were
already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be
separated from You. Amen
