the Lord, present in our midst, who speaks to us and nourishes MONDAY – JANUARY 25 us. A day devoted to the should not be seen as a yearly 6:30AM – Mass event but rather a year-long event, for we urgently need to grow in 7:00AM – Patriotic Rosary our knowledge and love of the Scriptures and of the Risen Lord, TUESDAY – JANUARY 26 who continues to speak His word and to break bread in the 6:30AM – Mass community of believers.

Spiritual Communion is an ardent desire to receive Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament and lovingly embrace him at a time or in circumstances when one cannot receive Him in sacramental Communion. The most common reason for making an Act of Spiritual Communion is when a person cannot attend Mass. Acts of Spiritual Communion increase our desire to receive sacramental Communion and help us avoid the sins that would make us unable to receive Holy Communion worthily.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER 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 in 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.

JANUARY: MONTH OF THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS – There is no HOLY FATHER’S PRAYER INTENTION FOR JANUARY name more powerful than the name of Jesus. The Catechism sums up the power of this name beautifully: “The name ‘Jesus’ contains all: God and Human Fraternity man and the whole economy of creation and salvation. To pray ‘Jesus’ is May the Lord give us the grace to live in full to invoke Him and to call Him within us. His name is the only one that contains the presence it signifies. Jesus is the Risen One, and whoever fellowship with our brothers and sisters of other invokes the name of Jesus is welcoming the Son of God who loved him and religions, praying for one another, open to all. who gave Himself up for him”.
