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.

The Diocese has communicated an updated protocol as of February 15, 2022 as follows: 

In light of the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in both Delaware and Maryland, parishes are advised to discontinue all previous COVID-19 guidance beginning as soon as possible with the exception of the following:

• Parishes are still encouraged to practice safety measures that include a consistent sanitizing of common areas, hand sanitizer available at all entrances and support a welcoming environment for those members of your parishes who wish to wear masks.
• Distribution of the Precious Blood continues to be prohibited.
