In my parish earthenware vessels are now used (only in the last couple of years since a change of pastor), and as an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion I have been asked to purify the eucharistic vessels (something our previous priest, in respect of RS forbad). Holy Communion is always distributed under both kinds, despite fewer than half the congregation at some masses receiving the Precious Blood. Also, a communion plate is not used and several times the Sacred Host has fallen to the ground. The Pastor believes the difficulty comes from people receiving on the tongue! I wonder what one can do in such a circumstance?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598228705498900088.post-66707301046386475922010-11-03T16:52:19.409+00:002010-11-03T16:52:19.409+00:00One way to help implement Redemptionis Sacramentum...One way to help implement Redemptionis Sacramentum would be if lay people could be given clear instructions on how to respond when priests aren't following it. I have been to a mass celebrated on a coffee table, where no-one kneeled and then the Eucharist was passed round in a clay bowl. I wasn't expecting it to be like that and didn't know what to do. Refusing to participate seemed wrong. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to do in that situation?Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09347231130073317533noreply@blogger.com
