Since the missalettes are not available in the pews, we are printing the Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel here. You can cut this prayer out of the bulletin and put it in your wallet or purse so that when we pray it at the end of the Mass you will be able to pray it along with us.
"Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil;
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God,
thrust into Hell Satan and the other evil spirits who prowl about the world
for the ruin of souls. Amen."

AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL ACOMMUNION
Even though we are not able to come to Mass, we are still able to make an “Act of Spiritual Communion”. By doing this we are asking Jesus to come into our soul in a special and concreate way. Please use this prayer to unite yourself to Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
“My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You.”
The Holy Father has recently drawn attention to the fact that many faithful go to Confession to meet with God. “However,” he acknowledged, “many will say to me today: ‘But, Father, where can I find a priest, a confessor, because one can’t leave home? And I want to make peace with the Lord, I want Him to embrace me, that my Papa embrace me . . . What can I do if I can’t find priests?’”
“Do what the Catechism says,” the Pope stressed, “it’s very clear: if you don’t find a priest
to hear your Confession, talk with God, He is your Father, and tell Him the truth: ‘Lord, I’ve done this, and that, and that . . . I’m sorry,’ and ask Him for forgiveness with all your heart, with the Act of Contrition and promise Him: ‘Afterwards I will go to Confession, but forgive me now.’” “If you do all this,” Pope Francis said, “you will return to God’s grace immediately. As the Catechism teaches,” he reminded, “you yourself can approach God’s forgiveness without having a priest at hand.
Think: ‘it’s the moment!’ And this is the right moment, the opportune moment. An Act of Contrition well made,” Pope Francis said, “will make our soul become white as snow.”
– Pope Francis, Daily Mass Homily, 20 March 2020
While there is no set formula for making a Perfect Act of Contrition, a common one reads as follows:
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong and
failing to do good,
I have sinned against You, whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with Your help, to do penance, to sin no more,
and to avoid whatever leads me to sin
As soon as you can, once Churches open again for the Sacraments, you must go to Confession in order to receive Sacramental forgiveness.
