There is a prayer to spiritually unite with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament when you are unable to physically receive Him in the Eucharist.
In 2020 the world saw an unprecedented amount of closures of our churches and chapels. We all suffered, and many Mass attendees began watching Mass on television and taking spiritual communion.
This practice of making a prayer to spiritually unite with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is an ancient one.
If you are unable to receive Jesus in the Eucharist right now, the prayer to spiritually unite with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament can be very powerful for you.
Some of you live in countries that do not have adoration chapels or Churches, some of you are in irregular situations, and some of you have not yet entered the Church and are not in full communion. You can receive Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament by desire through this prayer. While it is not the same thing as consuming the Eucharist, the Lord provides special graces to those who desire to receive Him sacramentally.
Prayer to Spiritually Unite with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament
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.
When You Cannot Visit the Chapel
Jesus is truly present to us in the Blessed Sacrament and we can still unite to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament through desire if we are unable to visit Him physically in adoration. Visit our page for Blessed Sacrament Livestream.
The following prayer is from In Sinu Jesu: When Heart Speaks to Heart, The Journal of a Priest at Prayer.
"A prayer for those who would offer one hour of adoration and reparation at home, at work, in hospital, in prison, or while travelling."
A Prayer of Adoration by Desire
Lord Jesus Christ,
Although I cannot, during this hour,
approach Thee physically in the
Sacrament of Thy love,
I would approach Thee
by desire and by faith.
Transport me, I beseech Thee,
by the lifting up of my mind and heart,
to that tabernacle in the world
where Thou art, at this hour,
most forsaken, utterly forgotten,
and without human company.
Let the radiance of Thy Eucharistic Face
so penetrate my soul
that by offering Thee adoration
and reparation,
even as I am busy
doing ordinary things in an ordinary way,
I may obtain from Thy Sacred Heart
the return of at least one priest to the Tabernacle
where Thou waitest for him today.
Amen.
From In Sinu Jesu (pg 219)
