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.
