spiritual communionMy 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. -

SUPPORT FOR ADDICTIONS
Opioid addiction has reached epidemic proportions and rates are especially high in the state of Pennsylvania. Addiction, no matter what form it takes, is causing much suffering in the lives of many of our Archdiocesan families and they are looking to the Church for hope and help. There is a new webpage 'Hope in Christ: Spiritual Support for Addiction' that can be found on the link below. Here you will find spiritual support, events, and resources for families struggling with addiction. http://archphila.org/hope
