The Eucharistic fast: an offering of your life

Lord Jesus, I firmly believe that You are present in the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist. I love You more than anything and I desire You with all my soul. 
“My body longs for you, like a dry, weary land without water.” (Psalm 62)
I want to receive You today with all the love of the Virgin Mary, with the joy and the fervor of the Saints. 
Since I am prevented from receiving You sacramentally, come at least spiritually to visit my soul.
In this time of absence, may this Eucharistic fast to which I am subjected bring me in communion with Your sufferings, especially with the feeling of abandon that You felt on the Cross when You cried out: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
May this sacramental fast bring me in communion with the sentiments of Your Most Holy Mother and of St Joseph when they lost You in the temple of Jerusalem; with the sentiments of Your Holy Mother when she received You, lifeless, at the foot of the Cross. 
May this Eucharistic fast bring me in communion with the suffering of Your mystical Body, the Church, throughout the world where persecution, or the absence of priests, are obstacles to sacramental life. 
May this Eucharistic fast bring me to understand that the Eucharist is an over-abundant gift of Your love and not a given for my spiritual comfort. 
May this Eucharistic fast be a reparation for all the times when I received you with a heart that was badly prepared, cold, indifferent, without love nor thanksgiving. 
May this Eucharistic fast ever increase my hunger to receive You truly and substantially in Your body, Your blood, Your soul and Your divinity when the circumstances will allow me. 
And until then, Lord Jesus, come to visit us spiritually through Your grace to strengthen us in our trials. Maranatha, come Lord Jesus.

Novena to the Servant of God: Carlo Acutis

Dear Father,
Who has given us the ardent testimony
of the young Servant of God, Carlo Acutis,
who made the Eucharist the core of his life
and strength of his daily commitments
so that everybody may love You above all else,
let him soon be counted among 
the Blesseds and Saints in Your Church.

Confirm my Faith
nurture my Hope,
strengthen my Charity
in the image of young Carlo,
who, growing in these virtues,
now lives with You.

Grant me the grace I really need....

I trust in you, Father, and your Beloved Son Jesus,
in the Virgin Mary, our Dearest Mother,
and in the intervention of Your Servant, Carlo Acutis.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
