MASS READINGS & PRAYERS
Mass readings can be found at the USCCB website here.

At Communion, join in saying the following prayer with the priest:

Prayer for Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Blessed Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire you in my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though you are already there, I embrace you and unite myself wholly to you; permit not that I should ever be separated from you. Amen.

Acto de Comunión espiritual
Creo, Jesús mío, que estás realmente presente en el Santísimo Sacramento del altar. Te amo sobre todas las cosas y deseo ardientemente recibirte dentro de mi alma, pero no pudiendo hacerlo sacramentalmente, ven al menos espiritualmente a mi corazón. Quédate conmigo y no permitas que me separe de ti. Amén.

MASS INTENTIONS
Fr. Erik and Fr. Paul will continue to celebrate daily and weekend Masses for intentions that have been scheduled.
