Prayer of St Alphonsus

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.
 
I love you above all things and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul.
 
Since I cannot now receive you in Holy Communion, at least spiritually come 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.
