When the faithful are unable to attend Mass due to extraordinary circumstances, they are able to make an Act of Spiritual Communion or see below.

Spiritual Communion means uniting one’s self in prayer with Christ’s sacrifice and worshiping him in his Body and Blood. The most common reason for making an Act of Spiritual Communion is when a person cannot attend Mass. Acts of Spiritual Communion increase our desire to receive sacramental Communion.

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 in 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.

Prayer Of Pope Francis During The Coronavirus Crisis

O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope.We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick,who at the cross took part in Jesus' pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need,and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee,we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial.

Help us, Mother of Divine Love,to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus,who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross,to the joy of the resurrection. Amen. Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial,but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin

Amen
