Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network: an initiative to help us to respond to our vocation of service that our present reality awakens in us.

The Crisis & Health Rosary aims to strengthen our prayer for the world. In each mystery, we will hear real testimonies, prepared by the Vatican COVID-19 Commission, related to the COVID pandemic. These are real-life experiences that invite us to reflect on the Gospel, illumined and informed by the reality we are all going through.

The Crisis & Health Rosary can be downloaded for free as an eBook in EPUB, MOBI or PDF format from the website www.popesprayer.va and it will soon be available on Amazon Kindle and Google Play Books.

Spiritual Communion
There are times when people are unable to receive the Body and Blood of Christ, through illness or due to their personal disposition. Even though some may not receive ‘sacramental’ Communion, all are united in some way by the Holy Spirit. The traditional idea of ‘spiritual’ Communion is an important one to remember and reaffirm. A deep spiritual communion is possible even when we do not share together the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ. (cf. Celebrating the Mass 212)

“My Jesus, I believe that you are present in this Holy Sacrament of the altar. I love you above all things and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come spiritually into my soul so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever. Amen.”
[based on a prayer of St Alphonsus Liguori]
