Children’s Spiritual Communion Prayer

The beautiful thing about a spiritual communion is that youdon’t have to make your First Holy Communion before youcan make a spiritual communion. And so what a spiritualcommunion is where we just invite Jesus into our hearts withsomething like a prayer like this: Lord Jesus, I love You, and I know You love me. Come to my

heart now. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, that You might be withme, that I may love You, because loving You is what will makeme a saint, and becoming a saint is what gets me into Heaven.Lord Jesus, help me love you. Come to me now. Amen
