As we finish 2023 it’s a good time to reflect on the past year and make a General Confession. It’s also an excellent time to resolve to improve our spiritual life, first by knowing ourself and our chief fault but also make the most of the time we have by developing our spiritual life through attendance at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, Spiritual Communions, Mental Prayer, the Rosary, Spiritual Reading, study of the Faith, and more.

Formula for a Spiritual Communion:

My Jesus, I believe that Thou art present in the Blessed Sacrament. I love Thee above all things and I desire Thee in my soul. Since I cannot now receive Thee sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though thou wert already there, I embrace Thee and unite myself wholly to Thee; permit not that I should ever be separated from Thee (Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori).
