Spiritual Communion
Although many of us can’t receive Jesus sacramentally at this time, we can still make an act of spiritual communion every day. Saints often did this when they couldn’t receive the Eucharist at Mass, and doing so was an essential part of life for them in drawing closer to God. The ultimate goal of our lives should always be communion with God, no matter what the circumstances look like.
"I am very calm and cheerful. Of course, so far there has been no Mass and Communion; maybe that will come later. Now we have a chance to experience a little how to live purely from within."
