PRAYER - ACT OF 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 there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.

Cannock Catholic YouTube Channel

"The Family Mass" is a mass for children mainly of primary school age (5-11 years) and their families. It is based on Sunday Gospels and liturgy, taking a key word each week, and is suitable for use in school or at home, and includes music and artwork created by children, readings read by children, and a homily which is appropriate to the children. The guidance set out in the Directory for Children's Masses and other documents is followed, and readings and prayers are chosen and adapted to be appropriate for children of this age group, and include the use of the Eucharistic Prayers for children.
The Masses are updated every Wednesday.
