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 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.

In 1918, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in World War I, then known as “the Great War.” Commemorated in many countries as Armistice Day the following year, November 11th became a federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became known as Veterans Day.

Today, national debate, could it be as much God’s sense of from Siberia to humor as God’s will for our sanctification that our Ethiopia, in sixteen first American saint should be an immigrant and countries, Mother naturalized citizen? Frances Cabrini, adopting the Cabrini’s sisters name Xavier, confided to Pope Leo XIII her longing and lay associates to follow her Jesuit patron to Asia. But the Pope embody her replied, “Not East—West!” So she and her practical Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart exchanged spirituality: “Let’s exotic dreams of China for the impoverished reality of get to work!
