Prayer for Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.

Blessed be God.
Blessed be His Holy Name.
Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true Man.

Blessed be His Most Sacred Heart.
Blessed be His Most Precious Blood.
Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.

Your Generous Support

Our lives have changed. Rest assured, St. Monica is here for you, as always, but in a new way—virtually—to fulfill our mission during these uncertain days. In addition to ministering to you, a dire challenge we face is sustain our parish’s month-to-month offertory to support our mission as disciples of Christ.

We need your immediate and ongoing financial support—no matter what the amount. Even though we can no longer pass a basket during Mass, there are ways to continue or increase your contributions to St. Monica. There are many options listed below; however, the best way to stabilize our offertory is to join the 50% of parishioners who contribute regularly online. Help us increase this number! Your ongoing commitment at this time will allow us to move forward with more certainty and make important decisions about how we can weather this unexpected crisis as a connected and loving community.

Please maintain your gifts and, if at all possible, increase them.
Let us all protect our work…our mission…our spiritual home…our St. Monica.
