Prayer : Our Lady, Mother of the Church


Father of mercies,
your only Son, hanging on the Cross,
gave us his Virgin Mother Mary to be our Mother also.

Under her loving care
may her children grow daily in holiness,
so that all humanity may see in your Church
the mother of all nations.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.



An Act of Spiritual Communion

For when attending the Eucharist of another Christian Church, where Church discipline does not allow for you to receive Holy Communion sacramentally.


My Jesus,
I believe that you are in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love you above all things,
and I long for you in my soul.
Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.

As though you have already come,
I embrace you and unite mysefl entirely to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.

Lord Jesus, may we all be one
as you and Father are one,
so that the world may believe the Father has sent you.

Lord Jesus Christ,
you said to your apostles,
'I leave you peace; my peace I give you.'
Look not on our sins,
but on the faith of your Church;
and grant her the peace and unity
which is according to your will;
who live and reign for ever and ever. Amen.
