Yet another reason I refuse to be an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. <br /><br />Problems like that is why priests make the big bucks! ;-)Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-83506132341271770742010-01-04T18:19:07.164-05:002010-01-04T18:19:07.164-05:00Ooooooooooor, 99% of these problems can be avoided...Ooooooooooor, 99% of these problems can be avoided by simply recieving on the tongue kneeling. <br /><br />The gum-chewers in communion line really steam my clams. I haven't seen nor herd of/about them in years (basically since I stopped going to NO masses). Somewhere between a running-tackle by an usher and a "Get thee behind me, Satan!" pronouncement from the priest there must be a happy middle ground that let's the person know that they are being irreverent, self-centered and disgraceful.<br /><br />I'm glad you tell them to take it out of their mouth, Father. Maybe the next step is to put it on their nose and have them wear it for the rest of the mass.Qualis Rexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-40063499243751452712010-01-04T05:31:36.376-05:002010-01-04T05:31:36.376-05:00Norah:

I like that you handle the situation differently depending on the disposition of the individual.<br /><br />Disrespect and irreverence to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is something that really, really bothers me. It actually chokes me up sometimes.<br /><br />I usually offer prayers in reparation when I see it. It also always reminds me of my own sinfulness. After all, the other person may not be totally culpable for his irreverent actions, but I know that I am truly guilty of my own offenses against the Lord.Julianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-29886464214816264122010-01-03T16:09:45.617-05:002010-01-03T16:09:45.617-05:00I'm not sure if you've seen it, but there ...I'm not sure if you've seen it, but there is a video out there of a bride and groom receiving Holy Communion. The Host went right down the front of the bride's dress! She looked up at the priest, unsure what to do, he reached in and grabbed the host! Looks bad on video but my guess is that he could see it sitting on fabric. Pretty funny, if shocking video. <br /><br /><br />On a personal note..not long after I received my 1st communion, I dropped the host. They NEVER told us what to do should that happen, and all I could think was "That's JESUS!" Not wanting anyone to step on Jesus, I quickly bent down, picked it up, and consumed it, glanced back at Father and my Mom. Mom was looking shocked, and Father just kinda shrugged...and I skipped off into the sunset with Jesus. lol<br /><br />My Mom told me later that I shouldn't have done that, so for YEARS I was totally guilt ridden, finally learned I had really done, by instinct, EXACTLY the right thing. Um, except for the skipping part. I shouldn't have skipped back to our pew.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-74330691154134076192010-01-03T11:34:57.478-05:002010-01-03T11:34:57.478-05:00Yes.
