I talked to an FSSP priest about this once in confession. I asked him if it was displeasing to Our Lord to receive Communion in the hand. He said he could not call that "displeasing". Then I asked him about the strangeness I feel when receiving on the toungue from a eucharistic lay minnister at a novus ordo Mass who doesn't know how to properly distribute. We agreed that this just seemed silly and he asked what was unreasonable about always receiving from a priest or deacon only? Ever since that point, I have been to many Masses in many different churches, and usually sit in the back and work my way over to the priest during Communion to receive on the toungue. Sometimes I have gotten some funny looks, and more than once I have really angered at least 2 ushers by refusing to follow their direction to move to the other line please... but oh well, this is just what I do. Our priests' hands are consecrated, and I believe, more worthy for this cause. (I am not meaning to sound like a Communion snob either, this is just my personal choice in this matter, but the mobs of eucharistic ministers in the liberal suburban churches are getting out of control and I prefer to boycott them altogether.)CatholicMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889676714379171157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-74829419040157004852009-11-12T03:19:26.197-08:002009-11-12T03:19:26.197-08:00I agree with you Gabriella.

The fact that the Host is desecrated in such a way brings up another important point:<br /><br />The responsibility of the priests in the matter. <br /><br />By allowing Communion to be given in the hand they have facilitated this abuse against the Body of Christ. And one day, they will be answerable to Him when He asks:<br /><br />"What have you done with the precious Gift I gave you?"Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-431478121243209072009-11-11T13:24:26.318-08:002009-11-11T13:24:26.318-08:00Abuses with the host are numerous even here!

God bless.<br /><br />Hi Anne,<br /><br />Thanx for visiting and commenting. Of course, this is only a story to demonstrate problems with administering Communion. <br /><br />I've used two characters from my book "Visions" to develop this and other stories in the 'Fr Ignatius' series I've published in this Blog. I assure you though, that none of the Fr Ignatius stories published here are taken from the book "Visions". <br /><br />That book tells a different story involving Ignatius, Donald and and others of course.<br /><br />You can read a resume of the book on the right of this Blog.<br /><br />God bless you.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-86606320591511402002009-11-11T04:09:50.307-08:002009-11-11T04:09:50.307-08:00You tell a great story Victor!

Most abuses could be rectified by the mandatory receiving of Jesus on the tongue. <br /><br />God bless you!Brian Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13006075661212760133noreply@blogger.com
