Domine, non sum Dignus.
LORD, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof: say but the word, and my soul shall be healed. [Three times.]
Act for a Spiritual Communion.
MY Jesus, I believe that Thou art truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. I love Thee above all things, and I desire to possess Thee within my soul. Since I am unable now to receive Thee sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace Thee as being already there, and unite myself wholly to Thee; never permit me to be separated from Thee.
How sweet would it be, O my God! were I of the number of those whose sanctity allows them to receive Thee daily! What an advantage, could I, at this moment, possess Thee in my heart, there pay Thee my homage, lay open to Thee my wants, and share in the favors which Thou grantest to those who receive Thee sacramentally. But since I am unworthy, do Thou, O Lord! supply my want of preparation. Pardon me my sins; I sovereignly detest them, because they are displeasing to Thee. Accept my ardent wish to be united to Thee; cast Thine eye upon me, and purify my soul, that I may soon be fit to receive Thee worthily. But until the arrival of this happy day, I earnestly entreat Thee, O dearest Lord! to make me a sharer in all the advantages which the Communion of the Priest shall produce in these Thy people. Increase my faith by the virtue of this sacrament, strengthen my hope, fill my heart with love, that it may beat but for Thee and live for Thee alone. Amen.
