2 All Souls Catholic 2 The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ May 29, 2016 Protocols for Receiving Holy Communion "And when the leftover fragments were picked up, they filled twelve wicker baskets." Today's Gospel shows us that Jesus wants to do more than satisfy our needs. He wants to give us an experience of fullness and abundance. He not only miraculously fed the crowd of thousands; he also provided enough to make a mountain of leftovers. More than they needed, more than they ever expected. That's what Jesus gave. And it's what he continues to give us every time we receive the Eucharist. This too is a miraculous meal. Like the multiplication of "five loaves and two fish," Jesus turns something small--bread and wine--into something abundant and overflowing: his body, blood, soul, and divinity. Through this sacrament we experience the gift of union with Jesus and the resulting graces that come from encountering him. Just like the crowds gathered that day in a deserted place, we come to Jesus with our emptiness--our needs, our weaknesses, our fears--and he fills us up until we too are "satisfied." The prayer after Communion on today's feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ reminds us that what we experience at Mass is a foretaste of that ultimate satisfaction that we will experience in heaven: "Grant, O Lord, we pray, that we may delight for all eternity in that share in your divine life, which is foreshadowed in the present age by our reception of your precious Body and Blood." Receiving the Lord in the Eucharist is a momentous miracle and an earthly glimpse into heaven. May today's celebration help remind us to be ever grateful for this most glorious gift. LPI, Inc. La Santísima Trinidad La liturgia de hoy nos lleva a un compromiso hacia la participación y valoración consiente y activa de la Eucaristía. En muchos lugares este día hacen procesión con el Santísimo Sacramento; en otros ya se ha perdido esta bella costumbre. De cualquier manera, la Eucaristía es un sacramento que pide y exige cambio de actitudes, internas y externas. La palabra Eucaristía significa "acción de gracias". Jesús en su vida terrena vivía dando gracias y también nosotros debemos hacer de nuestra propia vida una continua acción de gracias. Pero a quién debemos dar gracias? Por qué y para que debemos dar gracias? Jesús nos enseña que es importante dar gracias al Padre del cielo. Veamos el texto de hoy: "Después Jesús tomó en sus manos los cinco panes y los dos pescados, y levantando su mirada al cielo, pronuncio sobre ellos una oración de acción de gracias, los partió y los fue dando a los discípulos, para que ellos los distribuyeran" (Lc 9, 16). San Pablo también nos ayuda a reflexionar en las siguientes palabras de la Eucaristía: "Esto es mi cuerpo, que se entrega por ustedes. Hagan esto en memoria mía" (1 Cor 11, 24). Y qué es esto que tenemos que hacer en memoria de Cristo nuestro Señor? En primer lugar es hacer lo que Cristo hizo, dar de comer a los pobres, vestir al desnudo, visitar al enfermo, etcétera. En segundo lugar, dar la vida por los demás, quiere decir trabajar y llevar el sustento a casa, amar sin reservas a la familia, perdonar al que nos ha ofendido. Recuerda, no se puede comer el cuerpo y beber la sangre de Cristo y seguir viviendo egoístamente encerrados en uno mismo. LPI, Inc. The Reality of the Eucharist On this solemn feast we are called above all to faith in the fact, as revealed by the Lord himself, that the Eucharist, the Holy Communion we partake of, is in fact, a reception of the very Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, whole and entire, in his glorified state. We do not partake of a symbol, the Eucharist is not a metaphor, it is truly the Lord. Neither is it a piece of his flesh, but is Christ, whole and entire. Scripture attests to this in many places. Let this Feast of Corpus Christi/The Body and Blood of Christ be a time of reflection and review of our internal and external posture as we go forth to receive our Lord, Jesus Christ. How do you receive Holy Communion? Do you go up mindlessly, shuffling along in the Communion line in a mechanistic way? Or do you go up powerfully aware of He, whom you are bout to receive? Do you remember, do you have vividly present to your mind what the Lord has done for you? Are you grateful and amazed at what he has done and what he offers? Or do you approach the Sacrament mindlessly as something put into your mouth? SIGN OF REVERENCE Each communicant is to make a sign of reverence before receiving the Host and/or the Precious Blood. In the United States, that gesture is to be a bow. For the sake of keeping the communion line flowing smoothly, you should make your bow just as the person in front of you is receiving. FOR ALL COMMUNICANTS As you are about to receive the Host or the Precious Blood, the Minister of Communion will say The Body of Christ or The Blood of Christ. The correct response is simply Amen. The word Amen is prescribed because it expresses many layers of theological meaning contained in this brief ritual dialogue. No other response should be used (for example: I believe or My Lord and my God ). It is particularly inappropriate to respond with Thank You or some other form of secular or seasonal greeting ( Merry Christmas or Happy Easter ). RECEIVING THE HOST IN THE HAND The proper way to receive the Host in the hand is to place one hand flat on top of the other so that the open palm is facing upward. Saint John Chrysostom described this beautiful gesture as making of your hands a throne for the King of Kings. In order to indicate clearly that you intend to receive in your hands, you should have your hands in this position already when you approach the Minister of Communion and not wait until after the dialogue The Body of Christ / Amen. It is not appropriate to receive the Host by taking it with two fingers (as if plucking or pinching ) from the Minister of Communion. Once the Minister of Communion has placed the Host onto your palm, step to the side and consume it immediately by taking it with the fingers of the lower hand and placing the Host in your mouth. It is not appropriate to take the Host with your mouth directly from your open palm. RECEIVING THE HOST ON THE TONGUE After the dialogue, The Body of Christ / Amen. Open your mouth wide, stick out your tongue (as if making a table for Our Lord), and hold still. Please do not move your neck, head, tongue, mouth or body. Do not move until the Minister has placed the Eucharist on your tongue and has removed their hand otherwise you may get the Eucharist on the nose, on the teeth, or it may fall on to the floor. RECEIVING FROM THE CUP The procedure is similar to that of receiving the Host: as you approach the Minister of the Cup, bow as a sign of reverence. The Minister will say The Blood of Christ and you are to answer Amen. Take the cup in your own hands; take a small sip of the Precious Blood and then slowly and carefully return the cup to the Minister. Avoid quick sudden movements with the cup so as not to spill any of the Precious Blood. RECEIVING BY INTINCTION (dipping the Host into the Precious Blood) In the Catholic s protocols for Holy Communion, self-intinction is considered highly improper and is not to be done.
