I strongly urge people to watch these two videos in there entirety. God Bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie12 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) I don't understand how any priest would deny communion to a person kneeling!?!?! It boggles my mind! The first video was very inspiring! Thanks for posting it! ( i haven't watched the other one yet!) Edited July 30, 2012 by Annie12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papist Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Because the Church allows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jesus put his body into the hands of the Apostles at the last supper. They weren't kneeling, they were probably reclining while eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomaly Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) I haven't been a practicing Catholic for years, but I still attend occaisionally for friends & families funerals, weddings, or special occaisions. Here in Florida, the vast majority receive in the hand. Since I'm free to people watch during communion, I have to say that I've never seen any awkwardness when people want to receive on the tongue or kneel, and this is at large parishes with well attended masses. I've seen EM's and attendees accept in the hand, kneel, and tongue at many parishes with many different priests and in many different Mass settings (Youth retreats, ordinations, services outside, different parishes, etc.) I think the awkwardness is soley on the recipient. Save the drama for the llamas. Edited July 30, 2012 by Anomaly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means they did not use their hands to handle the Eucharist at the last supper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papist Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I choose to receive in the tongue. However, receiving on the tongue is not immune to problems.

GeorgiiMichael Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 [quote name='CatherineM' timestamp='1343660638' post='2460219'] Jesus put his body into the hands of the Apostles at the last supper. They weren't kneeling, they were probably reclining while eating. [/quote] They were also the first priests/bishops, and even before the Church started to allow communion in the hands for laity, priests and bishops took the Eucharist in their hands before eating it. That argument isn't a good one for pointing to the acceptability of laity receiving the Eucharist in the hand. Not that I care that much either way. I prefer receiving on the tongue, but I don't really mind how others receive. [quote name='beaverman' timestamp='1343667969' post='2460266'] I believe you are incorrect.

[/quote] "Take this, all of you and eat, this is my body, given up for you." It's right there in the Eucharistic prayer, dude. Don't even try that the essence of cow.
