Psalm 1 Blessed Are They Who Hope in the Lord

1– Blessed the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked Nor walks in the way of sinners, nor sits in the company of the insolent, But delights in the law of the LORD and meditates on his law day and night. 2– He is like a tree planted near running water, That yields its fruit in due season, and whose leaves never fade. Whatever he does, prospers. 3– Not so, the wicked, not so; they are like chaff which the wind drives away. For the LORD watches over the way of the just, but the way of the wicked vanishes.

Act of Spiritual Communion

People: 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.

Communion Hymn I Have Loved You

Prayer after Communion

The Memorare

During this month of May, we will be praying the Memorare; a prayer that reminds us that we have a wonderful advocate and protector

in the mother of our Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
