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 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.
(attr. to St. Alphonsus Ligouri)

(Latin hymn lyrics)
O sanctissima, o piissima dulcis Virgo Maria!
Mater amata, intemerata, ora, ora pro nobis.
Tu solatium et refugium, Virgo Mater Maria.
Quidquid optamus, per te speramus, ora, ora pro nobis.
Ecce debiles, perquam flebiles, salva nos, O Maria!
Tolle languores, sana dolores, ora, ora pro nobis.
Virgo, respice, Mater, aspice, audi nos, O Maria!
Tu medicinam portas divinam, ora, ora pro nobis.

(English translation)
O most holy, O most loving,sweet Virgin Mary.
Beloved Mother, undefiled, pray, pray for us.
You are solace and refuge, Virgin, Mother Mary.
Whatever we wish, we hope it through you. Pray, pray for us.
Look, We are weak and deeply deplorable, save us, O Mary!
Take away our lassitude, heal our pains, pray, pray for us.
Virgin, look at us, Mother, care for us, hear us, O Mary!
You bring divine medicine. Pray, pray for us.— traditional Latin Marian hymn circa 17th century

The Immaculate Conception Explained
Did you know that Mary actually did know her child would save the world? In fact, she was saved around forty-seven years before Jesus died. Fr. Mike Schmitz simplifies the complex theology behind the Immaculate Conception in this video. Using a clever analogy or two, he demonstrates how Scripture alludes to the fact that Mary was immaculately conceived, and he explains why this solemnity is so important to the Church.
