  St. Alphonsus’ Act of Spiritual Communion may be a source of comfort at this time that we are separated from one another, but connected as the body of Christ:

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