"Oh, if only the suffering soul knew how it is loved by God, it would die of joy and excess of happiness! Some day, we will know the value of suffering, but then we will no longer be able to suffer. The present moment is ours."
- Diary of St. Faustina, 963

Prayers:
Prayer of Spiritual Communion
(For those who may wish but for whatever reason are unable to receive holy 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 there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen
Oración por una Comunión Espiritual
(Para aquellos que desean pero que por cualquier razón no pueden recibir la sagrada comunión)
Creo, Jesús mío, que estás real y verdaderamente presente en el Santísimo Sacramento. Te amo sobre todas las cosas, y deseo vivamente recibirte dentro de mi alma. Pero no pudiendo hacerlo ahora sacramentalmente, ven al menos espiritualmente a mi corazón. Y como si ya te hubiese recibido, te abrazo y me uno del todo a Ti. Señor, no permitas que jamás me aparte de Ti.
Amén
