The Mass is the very tenant of our Catholic faith, so this inability to receive the Eucharist is understandably difficult.

​

St. Teresa of Avila wrote, "When you do not receive communion and you do not attend Mass, you can make a spiritual communion, which is a most beneficial practice; by it the love of God will be greatly impressed upon you."

​

Following St. Teresa's wise words, we invite you to make a spiritual communion.
 

  • Take time to read and reflect upon the readings from Sunday Mass. You can find the readings here.  

  • Watch a Mass live at Christ the King Cathedral.  Sunday Masses broadcast at 9:00 a.m. and weekday Masses broadcast at 8:15 a.m.  

  • Pray an Act of Spiritual Communion (below.)

​

AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION BY ST. ALPHONSUS LIGOURI
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.
