Spiritual Communion
How to make a Spiritual Communion when you can’t get to Mass.
O HOLY ANGEL at my side, Go to Church for me,
Kneel in my place, at Holy Mass, Where I desire to be.
At Offertory, in my stead, Take all I am and own,
And place it as a sacrifice Upon the Altar Throne.
At Holy Consecration’s bell, Adore with Seraph’s love,
My Jesus hidden in the Host, Come down from Heaven above.
Then pray for those I dearly love, And those who cause me grief,
That Jesus’ Blood may cleanse all hearts, And suff’ring souls relieve.
And when the priest Communion takes, Oh, bring my Lord to me,
That His sweet Heart may rest on mine, And I His temple be.
Pray that this Sacrifice Divine, May mankind’s sins efface;
Then bring me Jesus’ blessing home, The pledge of every grace. Amen
Fatima Prayers
Here are some other prayers when you wish you were at Mass and for other times of the day.
PARDON PRAYER
My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love Thee!
I beg pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love Thee.
ANGEL’S PRAYER
O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly.
I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference by which He is offended.
By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners.
EUCHARISTIC PRAYER
Most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee! My God, my God, I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament!
SACRIFICE PRAYER
O Jesus, it is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Morning Offering
For followers of Jesus of any age.
O Jesus,
through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I offer You my prayers, works,
joys and sufferings
of this day for all the intentions
of Your Sacred Heart,
in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
throughout the world,
in reparation for my sins,
for the intentions of all my relatives and friends,
and in particular
for the Holy Father. Amen.
This prayer has numerous variations, but the main idea is to start your day giving to God everything you may encounter during the upcoming day.
Pray the Rosary
any time, anywhere.
The mydailyrosary project was born in Melbourne when two friends, strolling coffee in hand, made a simple observation – praying the rosary is difficult!
We agreed that the rosary is so much easier when you pray ‘with’ someone, but it’s not always possible. A recording, however, means that you have a prayer buddy with you at any time.
These records have helped us pray our daily rosary – in the car, on a train, jogging, walking, cooking, cleaning, swimming – really anywhere.

(If possible to pray aloud, say clearly and slowly)

READING
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
In verdant pastures he gives me repose;
Beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul.
He guides me in right paths for his name’s sake.
Even when I walk in the dark valley, I fear no evil: for you are at my side
With your rod and staff that give me courage
You spread the table before me in the sight of my foes;
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life;
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for years to come.
Revelation 21:1-5a, 6-7
God our Father is the God of newness and life; it is his desire that we should come to share his life with him.
I, John saw a new heaven and a new earth. The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. I also saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with the human race. He will dwell with them and they will be his people and God himself will always be with them as their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, for the old order has passed away.”
The one who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give a gift from the spring of life-giving water. The victor will inherit these gifts, and I shall be his God, and he will be my son.”
John 14: 1-6, 23, 27
The love of Jesus can raise us up from the sorrow of death to the joy of eternal life.
Jesus says:
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Have faith in God and faith in me.
In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places; otherwise, how could I have told you
that I am going to prepare a place for you?
I am indeed going to prepare a place for you,
and then I shall come back to take you with me,
that where I am you also may be.
“Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way? Jesus told him:
“I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.
Anyone who loves me
will be true to my word,
and my Father will love him;
we will come to him
and make our dwelling place with him.
‘Peace’ is my farewell to you,
my peace is a gift to you;
I do not give it to you as the world gives peace.
Do not be distressed or fearful.”

lead us home at last
and show us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus:
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

THE LORDS PRAYER
With God there is mercy and fullness of redemption; let us pray as Jesus taught us to pray:
Our Father,
who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen
DIVINE MERCY PRAYERS
Opening Prayers (optional)
You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and an ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us. (Diary 1319)
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You! (Diary 84)
Begin the Chaplet with the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Apostle’s Creed.
The Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
The Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
The Apostle’s Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting. Amen.
Then on the large bead before each decade:
Eternal Father,
I offer You the Body and Blood,
Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ,
in atonement for our sins,
and those of the whole world
On the ten small beads of each decade, say:
For the sake of His
sorrowful Passion,
have mercy on us
and on the whole world.
Conclude with (repeat 3 times):
Holy God,
Holy Mighty One,
Holy Immortal One,
have mercy on us
and on the whole world.
Closing Prayer (optional)
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless
and the treasury of compassion – inexhaustible,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent,
but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your
holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself. (Diary 950)
