Prayer to make Spiritual Communion:
People who cannot communicate make spiritual communion:
At your feet, O my Jesus I bow down and offer you the repentance of my
contrite heart, which abysses itself into its nothingness and Your holy
presence. I adore you in the Sacrament of Your love, the ineffable
Eucharist. I wish to receive you in the poor home that my heart offers
you. In anticipation of the happiness of sacramental communion, I want
to possess you in spirit. Come to me, oh my Jesus, that I may come to
you. May Your love inflame my whole being, for life and death. I believe
in you, I hope in you, I love you. So be it. Amen
Perpetual NOVENA Prayer to St. Theresa Little Flower:
O Little Therese of the Child Jesus, Please pick for me a rose, from

Flower of Jesus, ask God to grant the favors I now place with confidence
in you hands ( mention your special prayer request here ) St. Therese,
help me to always believe, as you did, in God's great love for me, so
that I may imitate your "Little Way" each day. Amen ( Say 1 Our Father, 1
