While we are temporarily unable to receive the Eucharist at Mass, the Church encourages us to to make an act of “spiritual communion,” where we unite ourselves to God through prayer. It is a beautiful way to express to God our desire to be united with him when we are unable to complete that union in the reception of Holy Communion. Click to view prayer.
