In the absence of Mass and the Eucharist, the faithful are encouraged to make a “Spiritual Communion” through the prayer of the Most Holy Redeemer (Anima Christi), the prayer of Self-Offering (Suscipe), or by praying the prayer below:

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.

• Family rosary at home for coronavirus victims
• Praying the divine mercy chaplet for an end to the pandemic
• Read the daily readings
• Live-stream the Mass (many places are offering this)
• Pray the Divine Office as a family
• Use social media to share how your family or community is praying
• Host a video live-stream for members of your parish to pray the rosary
• Take time on Fridays to pray the stations of the cross on your own, connecting your struggles with isolation with Jesus’ solitude in carrying his cross to Calvary
• Watch a movie about the life of Christ and spend time reflecting on this image of Jesus and what it can teach you about your faith and your life

• Call or email (or socially network with) your parents and grandparents, relatives, and any friends who may feel isolated, living alone, or who may be susceptible to the Coronavirus to provide a kind word, to see what help they need, or to provide your love and support in these challenging days.
• Offer to get groceries or other necessities for those who cannot go out.
• Check on friends who live alone to see if they need anything
• Have compassion for those most at risk and advocate for vulnerable populations in society (the elderly, those in poverty, homeless persons, persons with disabilities, those already sick or hospitalized, those with compromised immune systems, among others)
