A PRAYER OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
Lord God, our light and our salvation,
we praise you for your gifts of life and faith.
We thank you for the desire that you have planted in our hearts,
our yearning to see your face.
Help us to meet you in prayer,
to walk in your ways,
and to speak to others of our joy and consolation in your presence.
Give us faithfulness in this present life,
so that we may come to know and praise your beauty
with all our brothers and sisters.
We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
