Prayer for Spiritual Communion

Oración para Comunión Espiritual
​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.
Creo, Jesús mío,
que estás real y verdaderamente en el cielo
y en el Santísimo Sacramento del Altar.

Te amo sobre todas las cosas
y deseo vivamente recibirte dentro de mi alma,
pero no pudiendo hacerlo ahora sacramentalmente,
ven al menos espiritualmente a mi corazón.

Y como si ya te hubiese recibido,
Te abrazo y me uno del todo a Tí.
Señor, no permitas que jamás me aparte de Tí.

Amén.

Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
