Act of Spiritual Communion:
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love you above all things and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come spiritually into my soul so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever.
Amen.

Exposition with Rosary 30 minutes before weekday Masses this week.
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament comes easily. Never feel worried if you find you have no thoughts at all while you are before the Blessed Sacrament. Never feel inadequate about being an adorer even if you have not developed a spirit of devotion, if you are numb, down and out, weakened by life. The all important factor is that you are before the Lord. Before Him who knows you inside-out. He reads your innermost thoughts and He still loves you immensely. Imagine that! St. John Vianney once compared adoration to spiritual sunbathing. You are taking in the warmth of the grace and love radiating from the Sacred Host. You are very important to the Lord. Do not hesitate to practice your faith in The Real Presence.

First Five Saturdays Devotion
On 10th December 1925 Our Lord explained that the Communion of Reparation was to be made on five first Saturdays in reparation for the five kinds of offences and blasphemies uttered against Our Lady, namely: blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception, against Our Lady’s perpetual virginity, against her divine maternity and refusal to recognise her as the mother of mankind, blasphemies by those seeking to alienate children from her, and in reparation for those who outrage Our Lady in her sacred images. Our Lady asks us to: Go to confession – this can be up to 8 days before or after the First Saturday itself; Receive Holy Communion – on the day itself, in a state of grace, with the intention of making reparation as above; Recite five decades of the Rosary; Meditate for 15 minutes: this is not difficult, e.g, slowly read the Gospel account of the mysteries, or use a booklet on the Rosary. The typical schedule of devotions at St Teilo's can be found here.
