What is spiritual communion? St Thomas Aquinas defined spiritual communion as “an ardent desire to receive Jesus in the Holy Sacrament and a loving embrace as though we had already received Him.” The basis of this practice was explained by St John Paul the Great in his encyclical Ecclesia de Eucharistia. A summary of this encyclical is available here. Click on Archdiocese to find out how to make an act of spiritual communion.

Some reflections are available at Our Sunday Readings (2 pages) and Hearers of the Word (5 pages). And do listen to Bible scholar Dr Brant Pitre's reflection on The Shema.
