An 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 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.
Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense
against the wickedness
and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him,
we humbly pray,
and do thou,
o Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan
and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Witness to the Resurrection
Joy Is Our Net
In today's reading from the Acts of the Apostles, Peter heals a beggar who had been lame since birth. In doing so, the fisherman sheds light on why this man was subjected to such a lifelong trial. It is so that this beggar, through his newfound ability to walk, may become a joyful witness to Christ's Resurrection. How is the Lord giving you the opportunity to be a joyful witness?
Today's Action Item: Be a joyful witness of the Resurrection.
