PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
A prayer for those who may wish to, but are unable to receive Communion, for whatever reason.
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

Use these questions for reflection or conversation in your household.
First ReadingOur wisdom writer speaks of just souls resting peacefully in God’s loving hands. Can you think of a more peaceful image of death?
SECOND ReadingPaul teaches the Romans that with Jesus’ resurrection, “death no longer has any power over him,” or us, as believers. Does this belief help you through times of grieving from the loss of a loved one?
Gospel ReadingJesus taught the crowds that anyone who believes in him will have eternal life and be raised from the dead on the last day. How do others know you believe in Jesus?
