Saint Alphonsus Liguori wrote this:

Act of Spiritual Communion

"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." [Saint Alphonsus Liguori]

BLESSED CHARLES OF AUSTRIA

 PATRON SAINT OF WORLD PEACE

Please pray for PEACE ON EARTH !

Blessed Charles of Austria
Patron Saint of World Peace

(1887 – 1922) He was Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary,  King of Croatia, King of Bohemia and the last of the monarchs belonging to the House of Habsburg-Lorraine to rule over Austria-Hungary.  

Blessed Charles was beatified by Pope Saint John Paul II on October 3, 2004.  His feast day is October 21, the date he was married to his wife, Zita, in 1911.  (Zita is now being considered for sainthood as well.)  

Pope John Paul II called him "Prince of Peace" in his beatification ceremony, and Church leaders have praised Charles for putting his Christian faith first in making political decisions, and for his role as a peacemaker during the war, especially after 1917.  After WWI he was exiled with his family and died soon after in Madeira, age 34.  At the beginning of the cause for canonization in 1972 his tomb was opened and his body was discovered to be incorrupt.

SAINT NICHOLAS OF TOLENTINO

 PATRON SAINT OF THE SOULS IN PURGATORY

Please pray for the SOULS IN PURGATORY !

Saint Nicholas of Tolentino
Patron Saint of Souls in Purgatory

"During his life, Nicholas is said to have received visions, including images of Purgatory, which friends ascribed to his lengthy fasts. Prayer for the souls in Purgatory was the outstanding characteristic of his spirituality. Because of this Nicholas was proclaimed patron of the souls in Purgatory, in 1884 by Leo XIII."  WIKIPEDIA

Once, while asleep, a fellow friar who had died shortly before spoke to him from purgatory and urged him to celebrate the Eucharist for him and other souls there, so that they would be set free by the power of Christ. Nicholas did so for seven days. The friar again spoke to Nicholas, thanking him and assuring him that a large number of souls were now with God. Because of this Nicholas was proclaimed patron of the souls in Purgatory. CATHOLIC IRELAND
