BEST WISHES to Corey Quinn, Shane Annett, Mickey Walsh and all the Down Team in their USFC match v Fermanagh Sunday 1.30pm BBC2 Spiritual Communion What is Spiritual Communion? - Spiritual Communion is a way to be united with Christ when we are not able to physically receive the Eucharist. St Thomas Aquinas described it as “an ardent desire to receive Jesus in the Holy Sacrament, and a loving embrace as though we had received Him.” This was a practice very dear to the heart of St Alphonsus Liguori, founder of the Redemptorist Order. In this time of uncertainty, when we are encouraged to practice “Social Distancing,” let’s use St Alphonsus’ practice to be united in Spirit and in Prayer with one another and with Christ. How to make a Spiritual Communion: • Start with the Sign of the Cross. • Read and reflect on the readings of the day (you can go to https://www.catholicbishops.ie/readings/) , Mass Leaflets in Church porches at weekends or follow us livestreamed SATURDAYS AT 6PM AND ON SUNDAYS AT 10AM And Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 10am at • https://www.mcnmedia.tv/camera/st-annes-shrine-chapel-mayobridge or • http://www.mayobridgeparish.com/webcam-3/ • Have a real desire to be united with Christ. • Acknowledge your sins and ask for forgiveness. • Pray an Act of Spiritual Communion, such as this one inspired by St Alphonsus Liguori My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You. Amen • Offer a Prayer of Thanksgiving.
