Spiritual Communion Prayer. My spin.

"Oh my Jesus, I firmly believe that You are really and truly present here in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar: Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. Lord, I bow before You in adoration. 


Jesus, how I long to receive you in Holy Communion. But since I cannot at this time, please come in afresh by your Holy Spirit. 


I open the door of my heart as if I were receiving You:

Body of Christ, amen.

Blood of Christ, amen.


Lord, never let me be separated from You. But grant that I may be found in your friendship, in the state of grace at the hour of my death.


In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen."

    This is my take on a traditional prayer for spiritual communion. It was composed in a Eucharistic adoration chapel.


    But another context where this can be prayed is at Mass when a person is unable to receive.
