Prayer for 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.

Oración para Comunión Espiritual

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.
