Being in communion with God is something that every Christian strives for which is one of the leading reasons why so many Christians may make a prayer request for communion with God. Its important to remember that you can also recite prayers for communion with other people in your life as well. For example, although you may say prayers for the sick, you can also say a prayer for communion on their behalf so that they come to peace with God during this difficult time in their life.
You will receive photos of your printed prayer request placed on the Stone of Anointing; the place where Jesus’ body was prepared for burial after his crucifixion.
Prayer for Spiritual Communion
There are many Catholics who feel amiss because they are unable to attend mass due to an illness. However, this doesn’t mean that you need to completely miss out on continuing to develop your communion with God. By taking time each day to say a prayer for spiritual communion, you can continue to grow your relationship with God and take comfort in the fact that your prayer request to God will be heard. Here is an example of a 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 into 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 here,
And Unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You
Prayer Before Taking Communion
Before you go to receive Jesus in the sacrament of Eucharist, it’s imperative that you prepare yourself to receive him humbly. There is a small period of time that you can prepare to do this during the mass. If you’re at a loss for the right prayer to say, you can use this powerful prayer intention before taking communion:
Lord Jesus, I bow before you in humility and ask You to examine my heart today. Show me anything that is not pleasing to You. Reveal any secret pride, any unconfessed sin, any rebellion or unforgiveness that may be hindering my relationship with You. I know that I am Your beloved child, having received You into my heart and life and having accepted Your death as penalty for my sinfulness. The price You paid covered me for all time, and my desire is to live for You.

Heavenly Father,

In your name I pray.
