Anselm of Canterbury

Almighty God, whose servant Anselm helped your church to understand its faith in your eternal Being, perfect justice, and saving mercy: Provide your church in all ages with devout and learned scholars and teachers, that we may be able to give a reason for the hope that is in us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Daily Shrine Prayers and Mass will be available via audio livestream.

On Mondays through Saturdays at 12pm we offer prayers and intercessions at the shrine of Our Lady of Fifth Avenue. These prayers precede the Eucharist and include the traditional recitation of the Angelus, prayers from the diocesan and Anglican cycle, and intercessions.

Intercessions can be left online (using the link below) or in the church itself. You can also have names added to the prayer list by purchasing a digital candle. Finally, we invite those of you who listen to this service online to make an act of spiritual communion, the text of which you can access below along with shrine prayer and candle lighting requests.

  • An 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.
