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.
"One thing have I asked of the Lord, this I seek: To dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, That I may gaze on the loveliness of the Lord and contemplate His temple." (Psalm 27:4).
Prayer before the Blessed Sacrament is nothing less than a close, private conversation with a living person who is the risen Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. It is about as close as we can come in this life to talking with God face to face. 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.
