Spiritual Communion

The teaching of the church
In our Anglican tradition Holy Communion can be received spiritually. The term ‘Spiritual Communion’ has been used historically to describe the means of grace by which a person, prevented for some serious reason from sharing in a celebration of the Eucharist, nonetheless shares in the communion of Jesus Christ. The form of prayer offer Christians an opportunity to give thanks for their communion with him, particularly at times when they would ordinarily be present at the Eucharist.
