REQUEST MY TAX RECEIPT

 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.

Communion Espiritual
Mi jesus Yo creo que tu estás presente en el Santísimo Sacramento. Te amo sobre todas las cosas y deseo recibirte en mi alma. Como no puedo en este momento recibirte sacramentalmente, entra al menos espiritualmente en mi corazón. Te abrazo como si ya estuvieras allí y me uno completamente a ti. Nunca permitas que me separe de ti. Amén.

Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation: practicing Catholics do not have to attend Mass on Ash Wednesday.

It is, however, a day of fasting and abstinence, intended to prepare the church membership for Easter, the celebration of Christ's death and resurrection.

• Every other pew is to be blocked off and seating will keep 6 feet between family groups.
