Prayer during Spiritual Communion

 Prayer during Spiritual Communion



O Lord Jesus, since I cannot receive you in your Sacramental presence, I earnestly beg you to come spiritually into my soul and fill me with your Holy Grace so that I may be yours forever more.

O Jesus living in Mary, come and live in me. 

Fill me with your holiness, let me feel the power of your love and mercy, let me understand your mysteries and walk in your ways.

O Precious Lord, give to me a strong lively faith, an unbounded trust, fill me with humility and an aching sorrow for my sins, a total abandonment your divine will and a perfect loving union with you in body, soul, mind and heart.

O Sacrament most Holy, O Sacrament divine, all praise and all thanks giving be every moment thine.

Lord Jesus, I thank you for the blessing and graces you have given me though this Spiritual Communion. 

Amen

Reflections on the Lord's Prayer

Reflections on the Lord's Prayer Jesus, himself, gave us the words to the Lord’s Prayer, found in the Gospels of  Matthew 6:9-13   and   Luke 11:1-4 The Lord’s Prayer , also known as the Our Father or Pater Noster , contains seven petitions. The number  seven  often connotes completion or perfection in Scripture, and the Lord’s Prayer is just that — a complete and perfect summary of divine teachings. Intro: Our Father who art in Heaven Commentary:  This opening address not only confirms our belief that the omnipresent omniscient God the Father is our Heavenly Father but in using the address "Our Father' it also unites Christians worldwide into one community of worshippers. 1st Petition  Hallowed be Thy Name Commentary:  To "hallow" is to make holy.  We're  asking that God the Father be recognised by everyone throughout the world as being the ultimate holy power.  It is always appropriate that we should desire the glory an...

Jul-16 Feast of Our Lady of Carmel

  July 16: Our Lady of Mt Carmel and the brown scapular When I was young, my mother gave me a brown scapular of Our Lady of Mt Carmel. I didn't know her full story. Today is her feast day so allow me to tell you what I have learned ... The Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel serves to remind the faithful of our Blessed Mother’s promise of special protection and heavenly graces to all those who wear the brown scapular, a sign of salvation and a safeguard in danger.  The feast Our Lady of Mount Carmel was assigned to 16 July, because on that date in 1251, according to Carmelite traditions, a scapular was given by the Blessed Virgin to a hermit St. Simon Stock on Mount Carmel in north Israel (site of the fountain of Elijah) when the monastic order was in great peril of collapse.  The Blessed Mother answered Simon’s prayers by giving him the Scapular , telling him: “Hoc erit tibi et cunctis Carmelitis privilegium, in hoc habitu moriens salvabitur” ( This shall be the privi...
