Act for the Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Blessed Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire you in my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though you had already come, I embrace you and unite myself entirely to you. Do not permit that I should ever be separated from you.

And more briefly:

I believe in you, Jesus, in the Blessed Sacrament; I love you and I desire you. Come into my heart. I embrace you; never depart from me.

Absorbeat, quaeso, Domine Iesu Christe, mentem meam ignita et melliflua vis amoris tui, ut amore amoris tui moriar, qui amore amoris mei dignatus es mori. St. Francis.

O love not loved, love not known! St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi.

O my Spouse, when will you take me to yourself? St. Peter of Alcantara.

My Jesus, my good, my sweet love,

Wound and inflame this heart of mine, That it may always burn for you.

Long live the love of Jesus, our life, our all, and long live Mary, our hope. Amen.
