Sunday Obligation and the Spiritual Communion Prayer
In the words of Cardinal Vincent Nichols: “Attending Mass on Sundays and Holy Days is the greatest of all privileges.”
Watching mass online does not normally absolve you of your obligation to attend in person, if you are fit and well. Nevertheless, all are welcome to join our services remotely.
The prayer of St Alphonsus, or the Spirit of Communion prayer, was introduced into Mass during the COVID-19 pandemic at a time when we were unable to come together to celebrate. While it is no longer said, some may like to pray it personally.
My Jesus,
I believe that you are present
in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love you above all things
and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally,
come spiritually into my soul
so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever.
Amen.
