Spiritual Communion is a way of receiving Christ without partaking of the Blessed Sacrament. The Church has long taught that if someone wants to receive Eucharist but is prevented from doing so, a person may still receive the benefit offered in the Eucharist by desiring to do so. The Early Church taught that Baptism by desire, was valid, if someone was prevent from actually being baptized. The same is true of Eucharist. With that in mind, I have posted the service at St Paul's.
