And having hollowed your palm, receive the Body of Christ, saying over it, Amen. So then after having carefully hallowed your eyes by the touch of the Holy Body, partake of it; giving heed lest you lose any portion thereof* ; for whatever you lose, is evidently a loss to you as it were from one of your own members. For tell me, if any one gave you grains of gold, would you not hold them with all carefulness, being on your guard against losing any of them, and suffering loss? Will you not then much more carefully keep watch, that not a crumb fall from you of what is more precious than gold and precious stones?" (www.newadvent.org/fathers/310123.htm) Soooo...

[@mimikuh6574]

The most important is how we receive the holy sacrament in state of grace that should we focus as a Catholic. The problem in the church today people line up during communion not in a state of grace and during confession few only people line up for reconciliation to God. This should be our priority. If we really love God and honor him before we want to receive him in the holy Eucharist clean our soul first through confession so that Jesus Christ will live in us. It’s like welcoming an important visitor in our house, we clean first our house and make it sure it organized before we let the important visitor enter in our house. If our house is full of trash and smelly the visitor will not stay long in our house thats like our soul if our soul is full of sins God will not stay with us longer instead the devil will love to stay with us that’s why God give us the gift of confession to reconcile to God.

[@seashellshiela]

This is a much better way of communicating at the how-tos. I have really bad experiences at receiving being scolded by ministers who were in charge of passing the communion, she even raised her voice in front of everyone "Are you even Catholic?! THEN SAY AMEN HELLO?" because I did not reply "Amen" when she announced "The Body of Christ." I genuinely had no bad intentions, I listened to the readings and sermon. Thing is I have not received since I was a child, I have asked them prior whether are there are prerequisites/know-hows/ refreshers because I don't want to be humiliated like that if I received wrongly. They even made a point to approach me again after while the mass was still going in in front of everyone, harshly scolding to properly must swallow in front of the minister, not to take the communion away. OK, great, with this many rules, and with that kind of expectations I expect a better way to communicate it. But what's happened happened and that's on them. Not very Christly in my opinion. What a turn off, the very people who preach to be forgiving are not the very forgiving people. I approached them after for their behavior because I was truly offended and felt humiliated, and they said this is because a lot of people are abusing the body of Jesus. Well I did not have that intention at the very least, and I wouldn't know why someone that would abuse the body of Jesus would come to church in the first place. They just looked at me and didn't even occur to them that they were rude, human to human.

Very helpful video, especially how to receive the Eucharist in hand. Clear explanation and reason for this method.

[@AndrewSmith-jm1cd]

• St. Basil the Great, Doctor of the Church (330-379): “The right to receive Holy Communion in the hand is permitted only in times of persecution.” St. Basil the Great considered Communion in the hand so irregular that he did not hesitate to consider it a grave fault. • The Council of Saragossa (380): Excommunicated anyone who dared continue receiving Holy Communion by hand. This was confirmed by the Synod of Toledo. • The Synod of Rouen (650): Condemned Communion in the hand to halt widespread abuses that occurred from this practice, and as a safeguard against sacrilege. • 6th Ecumenical Council, at Constantinople (680-681): Forbade the faithful to take the Sacred Host in their hand, threatening transgressors with excommunication. • St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274): “Out of reverence towards this Sacrament [the Holy Eucharist], nothing touches it, but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest’s hands, for touching this Sacrament.” (Summa Theologica, Part III, Q. 82, Art. 3, Rep. Obj. 8.) • Pope Paul VI (1963-1978): “This method [on the tongue] must be retained.” (Memoriale Domini) • Pope John Paul II: “To touch the sacred species and to distribute them with their own hands is a privilege of the ordained.” (Dominicae Cenae, 11) • Mother Teresa: "Wherever I go in the whole world, the thing that makes me the saddest is watching people receive Communion in the hand." • Cardinal Robert Sarah, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship 2018: “Widespread Communion in the hand is part of Satan’s attack on the Eucharist.” Further, “The most insidious diabolical attack consists in trying to extinguish faith in the Eucharist, by sowing errors and fostering an unsuitable way of receiving it.”

[@Pyrokid1998]

I’m an independent Christian whom goes to District church in Wichita Kansas, and the act of communion is not the receiving of the Holy Spirit. That happens when we as the body of Christ become baptized. Communion is to be a reminder that though we as human are imperfect. Christ’s sacrifice on the cross and resurrection makes us perfect. In like 22:19-20 “Jesus took the bread and broke it saying this my body that has been broken for you do this in remembrance of me, likewise the cup after supper saying. This cup is the new covenant in my blood” yes we need to approach communion with reverence. However the bread/juice or wine are symbols. Jesus and God spoke in symbolism for us to understand better. Also so we remember why we take communion. Is communion holy? Yes. But in quoting my pastor. “Communion is not a tradition, but a reminder of who we are, and who we are in Christ”-Travis Roberts. Pastor of the District Church Delano Wichita Kansas. God bless.

Against communion on hand,Receive Holy Communion reverently on your tongue and, if possible, kneeling. Never accept Holy Communion in your hand. No priest in the world has the right to deny communion on the tongue. Avoid receiving Holy Communion from "extraordinary ministers" except, possibly, in extraordinary times - which seldom occur. The example you set will encourage more and more people to reject this unfortunate Indult.

What about kneeling to receive? And why no mention of genuflecting before reception?

[@gemoftheocean]

You can. But even pre Vatican II we didn't genuflect due to the simple fact we all knelt. That is why the head vow was added post Vatican II.

[@elingeniero2000]

actually kneeling is also an option in both forms of the Mass. and in the EF you don't answer amen the Priest says the body of the Lord preserve you on to eternal life (in latin of course) and in the EF the hands are not an option. the EF is part of the Latin rite and should also be included.

[@senavideos8397]

The Church law about distributing the communion states: "92. Although each of the faithful always has the right to receive Holy Communion on the TONGUE, at his choice, if any communicant should wish to receive the Sacrament in the hand, in areas where the Bishops’ Conference with the recognitio of the Apostolic See has given permission, the sacred host is to be administered to him or her. However, special care should be taken to ensure that the host is consumed by the communicant in the presence of the minister, so that no one goes away carrying the Eucharistic species in his hand. If there is a risk of profanation, then Holy Communion should not be given in the hand to the faithful". It's a little different from "communion can be delivered on the tongue or on the hand". Communion in the hand is an INDULT: something that though it's against the Church law, it's allowed under certains circumstances.

[@necksquad3222]

Making a bow as an act of reverence before receiving Holy Communion is only attached to the US Bishops' imposed norm of receiving while standing, so in that case it would be incorrect to genuflect before receiving. But in the case of those who choose to receive the Blessed Sacrament by the venerable practice of kneeling (as is the right of anyone receiving in the Latin Church), one theoretically can genuflect before receiving or make no prior sign of reverence at all, since kneeling in and of itself IS the reverence. This position is confirmed by various liturgical experts, including from EWTN.

[@JosephUsher]

If you persecute (slander) the Church, you persecute (slander) Jesus. When St. Paul was persecuting Christians (all Catholics, because there were no other Christians at the time, or for another 1500 years), Jesus asked him why he was persecuting Him (Jesus), not the Church. Why? Because Jesus IS the Church. So go ahead... slander all you want. You will answer for it when you meet your Maker. And by the way, if you use the Bible to try to dispute Catholic teachings, remember, you're using a CATHOLIC Book to do it! EVERY New Testament author was Catholic and the entire canon was decided by the Catholic Church. If it wasn't for the Church, we wouldn't even have a Bible, let alone know anything about Jesus or anything He taught.

If the Catholics are praise Jesus Christ and praying to his mother and asking for some guy in a box called father for forgiveness. Aka Roman Catholics the work of the Antichrist

[@MeliorIlle]

I am baptized, a Christian. I now attend Catholic Mass because I believe we all should return to original Christianity and stop these petty squabbles. Why can I not receive my savior in Communion just because I am not "on the books"? It's senseless and a great example of what has caused so much division in our faith.

[@catholiccomeback6576]

+MeliorIlle //so you are also a deserter of Jesus in the eucharist..it happened long ago until now with you,,.From that time many of his disciples went back and walk no more with HIM..John 6:66//or the 666 people...yes it will cause a division as predicted by Jesus..whoever is not with me is against me,and whoever does not gather wlth me SCATTERS. .LUKE 11:23 and thats the multiplication of the protestant sect.

[@MeliorIlle]

Jinxy Puff I'm a deserter? How so?

[@rlburton]

+MeliorIlle I used to be a Protestant, and now I am a Catholic, but there was a time when I was a Protestant attending Catholic Mass like you. I also didn't understand why I wasn't allowed to receive the Eucharist. I thought that I understood what the Eucharist was, but really I didn't, and there was a priest to allowed me to receive even though I was a Protestant, but I wish that he hadn't done that.

[@MeliorIlle]

Rodney Burton Enlighten me.

[@rlburton]

MeliorIlle Well, I believe that if you knew what the Catholic Church teaches about the Eucharist, you would not begrudge them their measures to protect it. I would highly recommend Scott Hahn's "The Lamb's Supper", and Brant Pitre's "The Jewish Roots of the Eucharist". The Eucharist IS Jesus; He is incarnate in the Bread and the Wine just as truly as He was incarnate as a Man; it is the Wedding Feast of the Lamb; hallelujah! Happy Easter

How very Americanized. The ORDINARY form of communion reception is on the tongue while kneeling. In the hand and standing were granted as an INDULT to the United States bishops. We should be teaching the ORDINARY form, not primarily the INDULT.

[@michaelnewzealand1888]

Geraldine Young How about look in the Bible, its not American, but I heard somewhere that it was the word of God. Maybe Jesus in Mathew 4:4.

[@719Jade]

I was utterly mortified when the Eucharist fell. I went to pick it up immediately and one of the ushers got it before I did. I didn’t know what to do. I went back to the pew and profusely prayed for forgiveness. I was so distraught that Sunday that I had an attitude but at myself. I couldn’t stop thinking of the look the usher gave me. I even started thinking of going to another church. What should I have done afterwards?

[@Lezith456]

WOW! I LOVE MY CATHOLIC FAITH!!!! Catholic Church, establish all the calendar festivities like Christmas, Lent, Easter, etc, etc. so, how come EVERYBODY that critizes the HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH celebrates Catholic Church Liturgy calendar ?!?!?!?!

[@michaelnewzealand1888]

Lezith456 A sincere question for you. Can you find the words "catholic", "christmas", "lent" or even "Easter" in the Bible? I know Jesus was born, but it doesn't say the time of year except the shepherd were out in the field (not that likely in December in Israel). Also, Jesus did die on Passover, buried on the feast of unleavened bread and rose again on first fruits, but can't find any mention of easter. Lent - can't find that at all - nor catholic. Let me know if you can help me. Do you believe the Bible is the word of God or not?

[@Lezith456]

I don't see ether the word TRINITY, and Catholics, and most protestants believe in FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT!

[@michaelnewzealand1888]

Lezith456 The reason we believe in Father, son and Holy Spirit is because they are all in the Bible and all revealed as God. Catholic, Christmas, lent, and Easter are not Biblical terms nor concepts.

Communion with the acknowledgement that we are sinners and stopping to take time to examine ourselves is the right way: A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. 1 Corinthians 11:28. Also In observing Communion we are remembering Christ and all that He has done for us in his life, death and resurrection: And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." 1 Corinthians 11:24 :-)

[@dorissanggau4292]

According to Maria the holy souls have revealed to her the following: -That priests and nuns should always wear their habits/clerics, in as much as possible. -That Extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers should be used very rarely, that is, only when it is absolutely necessary; that priests and deacons should make every effort to distribute Communion to the faithful, even though it takes longer to do so. - That receiving Holy Communion in the hand should be avoided as much as possible. -That holding hands during the Lords prayer and that the sign of peace after the Eucharistic prayer should be avoided in as much as it is possible, since both of these are a distraction from Jesus who is present upon the altar and that we should be concentrating upon Jesus alone during this important time of the Mass. -That dogs are the most hated animals by the devil and the demons because they are the closest and most helpful animal to mankind. -That outside of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph is one of the greatest Saints who advocates for the souls in Purgatory. The Angels, especially St Michael the archangel, and also the poor souls own guardian angel are also very powerful in helping to obtain mercy and pleading their cause before God. Also very important is any Saint that the person might have had a devotion to during one’s lifetime. Maria also pointed out that the Patron Saint of the poor souls in purgatory is St Nicholas of Tolentino -The holy souls have also revealed to Maria that it is on Christmas day that the most souls are released from purgatory and then also Good Friday, Ascension day, All Souls day and the feast of the Assumption.

CORRECTION THE CHURCH DOES NOT GIVE TWO OPTIONS LITTLE LESS THE LORD (Rom 14: 11; Lk 4: 8; Phil 2:10), WITH ALL DUE RESPECT READ THE BIBLE AND THE DIRECTIVES OF OUR HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH: ONE IS THE NORM OF THE CHURCH which is kneeling down and on the tongue. THE OPTION WHICH WAS SUGGESTED AND UNFORTUNATELY WIDESPREAD BY THE SYNOD OF AMERICAN BISHOPS is standing up and in the hand. THE NORM OR RULE WILL ALWAYS REMAIN THE RULE WHICH IS THE ONE PASSED ON THROUGHOUT CENTURIES. BISHOP ARIUS MADE THIS RECEIVING OF THE LORD IN THE HAND VERY WIDESPREAD AS WELL MANY CENTURIES AGO. WHICH CAUSED THE LOSS OF FAITH IN MANY PEOPLE AS IT IS HAPPENING ONCE AGAIN TODAY. THAT WAS CERTAINLY NOT THE ONLY OCCURRENCE, BUT IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR RECORDED IN HISTORY. SO PLEASE CHECK THE HOLY SEE'S DIRECTIVES BEFORE MISINFORMING CATHOLICS. WE ARE EITHER WITH JESUS OR AGAINST JESUS. Let the faithful follow the true Doctrine of the Magisterium so they remain faithful as so many have fallen into the fallacies of the devil nowadays, stop the impious acts against the Lord as the payment for such acts is eternal damnation, word of the Lord himself. We need to come out of our ignorance (Os 4: 6) and stand up for the truth even if it costs our own demise due to persecution inside our Holy Catholic and Apostolic church. God bless and may all impiety and faithless acts end soon.

[@ixtoc999]

Do whatever you want in the Novus ordo. In Holy Tradition we will only receive on the tongue and kneeling.

LovingAtlanta yes, wherever people’s mouths go there is the chance of pathogens such as viruses and bacteria to get on the cup. simply wiping it with a cloth does not sanitize it so it’s pointless. the flu, stomach flu, oral herpes virus and others can be transmitted by sharing the cup. it’s unrealistic to say jesus will just magically sanitize the cup, yknow? i wouldn’t recommend drinking from it.

The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

[@krakusdomm]

Interesting. I learned an hour ago that in the 1550s the Anglian Church under the King in England also shifted the idea of receiving the Eucharist into the hand, a Protestant act! The Pope of then and others wrote an Cyclical condemning that act? Something seems wrong with the messages today about this point or are the Popes' Past warnings not to change the Mass and Reception of the Eucharist now ignored? Reception comes from the heart, a love for our Lord and God. This Priest does not sound correct in my opinion and the preparation for reception even in that moment of our act to recieve.

[@rlburton]

The Vatican has left the decision of how it is received; hand, tongue, or either, up to each individual bishop.

[@krakusdomm]

Rodney Burton Not true. the New Catholic Church, Post Vatican II says it's OK. Why? Have you done what Catholic's are supposed to do? Or does the New Church tell you to swing it like the Protestants do? I am not telling you what to do. But if you want the truth and the Proofs you may want to start doing your homework. There was a Lost of the Traditional Priest and Nuns, about 60,000 in the 1950s and 1960s. Why? How did they replace them? What has happened to the 7 Sacraments in the New Catholic Church (Post Vatican II). For example, Confession is no longer private? Who wrote the Catechism for the New Catholic Church (Vatican II). Why is there a movement among the New Catholic Church Bishops to do away with the Traditional Latin Mass? Even to those Priest holding to it are be put on sabbaticals, retired, or excommunicated.Indeed, for a Catholic you maybe subscribing to Protestantism and not realize it. Do just a little homework and I guarantee you that you will be shocked!

[@rlburton]

krakusdomm The Holy Spirit has not abandoned the Church. The Mass is the Blessed partaking of Christ the Lamb and His sacrifice with His children, it is literally Heaven on Earth no matter what language it is spoken in.

[@krakusdomm]

Rodney Burton Interesting. Who is the Church? Was it not revealed to us that one day the Church would be persecuted? The Holy Spirit is truly in those who believe! Beyond the excuses of human understanding, comprehension, rationalizations, justifications, etc. Indeed, that sense of supernatural knowing coming to us through the Holy Sacraments of the Holy Traditional Catholic Church. The Holy Spirit makes this known to his and his alone! I am curious who do you say our Blessed Mother is and why?

[@channakorah7844]

The key to your concern is look up Jesuit imposter Pope Paul VI. He and others physically incapacitated the real Pope and Pushed through Vatican II which was a long series of legal loopholes to try to weaken and Protestantize the Catholic Church to make it fit in with the NWO. Everyone associates Jesuits with Catholics but Ignatious Loyola was a crypto-jew. I believe it was a way for the Jews to go around doing evil in the world and allowing the blame to fall on the Catholics. They have Satanic Cabals at the top levels of everything at this point. So they can conduct their Satanic Covert Cold War from all sides at once and everyone will be confused about who is to blame. I suspect that is the meaning behind their chess board black and white floors in their freemasonic temples. Also notice Paul's signature he does it so it looks like 666 when it's upside down. Martin Luther was also a cryptojew as well as Oliver Cromwell and King Henry the VIII. I have nothing against Mosaic or Messianic Jews neither do the Muslims it is the Zionists that everyone is after including the Jews. Go on youtube and pull up video after video of Jews in Jerusalem protesting Zionists or Zionism. Luke 19:27 But these enemies of mine who would not let me reign over them bring them here and kill them in front of me.

[@Paidonthedaily]

I have a confession. In my school, it was a catholic school. You can only revieve if you had your first holy communion. So, given that never happemed with me Everytime my class went up to recieve. Id hide and wait it out. One day, my teacher said go what are you waiting for? I walked up nervously to the alter. I had seen it 1000 times before. However, I never knew what was said after (*amen) i saw my classmates utter this so many times but never figured it out. I assumed it was, thankyou. Lol so i walked up, put my hands out anxiously, and said "thanks" to the priest. He looked at me with a confused stare. I felt so embaressed lol i also felt really unworthy. Hence had never gone uo to take bread before. And no, I didnt go up for the wine. I managed to dodge that bullet lol. Its so strange to me thst even though i never had a first holy communion, i was baptised. But, Can we not just recieve either way? I dont know. It al felt really embarassing. Anyone else had this?
