My thought was: "hey, no one takes the Body of Christ, you are supposed to receive it". As a matter of justice to our Lord, I always make sure the person says AMEN before they recieve the host, becayse after all, if you don't say you believe, then you should not receive. Peace and blessings this Lenten season for you and all your parishioners!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-38998505604852189762010-02-18T11:29:08.905-05:002010-02-18T11:29:08.905-05:00Dear Henry, you are 100% correct.

In fact the way our Episcopalian/Anglican brothers and sisters receive Holy Communion is by bringing the palm to the mouth or bringing the mouth to the palm to consume the wafer. Catholics have scoffed at their method over the years thinking our method of thanking the thumb and index finger to life the Host from the palm is superior. It is not Anglican method is truer to tradition and the reverence that Catholics should have for our Holy Communion as understood through "transubstantiation." Fr. McDonaldFr. Allan J.

Athanasius Schneider on Communion in the Hand:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jii6NCfTW68<br /><br />Specifically, where he makes it plain that current use of the famous "make your hand a throne for the Eucharist" quote of St. Cyril is completely (and surely intentionally) misleading. That no one in ancient times would have ever picked up the Host with his fingers. Instead, the communicant bowed deeply to receive the Host directly from the palm into the mouth. This "communion by mouth" was profoundly reverent, and did not resemble today's perfunctory "communion by hand".Henry Edwardsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-32373161794558488652010-02-18T08:44:11.562-05:002010-02-18T08:44:11.562-05:00Bring out the kneelers at every Mass, or restore t...Bring out the kneelers at every Mass, or restore the altar rail..

I know you can not deny Communion in the hand as long as the Indult stands, but if you encourage Communion on the tongue and kneeling many in the congregation will do it. As long as we're all queued up like a Soviet era breadline people will be afraid to do anything but what they have been doing for years (regardless of whether they do it correctly or not).Templarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204866760862707908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-20145892488991306472010-02-18T06:28:17.275-05:002010-02-18T06:28:17.275-05:00What to do?

Go back to receiving in one kind on the tongue...end of problem. <br />You know, there was the Donatist heresy,in rsponse to which the Church asserted that character or behavior flaws in the Priest do not vitiate the efficacy of the Grace conveyed in the Sacrament. <br />Perhaps the Church needs to make a statement regarding the Dumbasstist heresy...reminding us that stupid people or irreverant people have no power regarding the efficacy of the Graces conferred in the Eucharist...they merely cause the rest of us to commit venial sin in our thoughts about them.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.com
