We will update this page as we get more links to online Masses.
For those who will tune in to online Masses, Catholic leaders have recommended that they recite the following prayer during communion time. This is the Act of Spiritual Communion, by which Catholics believe they receive the Body of Christ spiritually, in the absence of a physical host.
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.
Have a blessed viewing of the Mass online, as we all stay safe from the novel coronavirus disease. – Rappler.com
