What is Spiritual Communion? In simplest terms, a Spiritual Communion is an expression of the desire to receive the Blessed Sacrament and to receive the effects of the Blessed Sacrament. Many, many saints have endorsed this expression of faith. There are many prayers for Spiritual Communion that you can Google but most of us at OLPH are very familiar with a very powerful one- the Anima Christi. First Communion classes in the past couple of years have even learned the American Sign Language for this prayer. Seeing and using the signs even make the prayer that much more expressive.
