4 WAYS MANY CATHOLICS ARE RECEIVING THE EUCHARIST WRONGLY (Including You) 

I actually asked this to the diocese of Las Cruces for 1 of its’ churches & was dismissed. The same song is so loudly screamed without reverence or any attempt to allow contemplation from the beginning of communion to a couple stanzas after. It is not even close to allow for any contemplation. I often try to sit as far back as possible in order to pray at daily mass. I thought I was the only one having this dilemma.

I agree heartedly! I grew up in England in the 1950s when we had to fast from midnight if we wished to receive the Most Blessed Sacrament. This applied from the age of seven if we had made our first Holy Communion. If we went to an evening Mass, then it was fasting for three hours before.

And the sign of peace prior to it also completely breaks my focus and reverence.

​@@maureen9115after receiving Christ ( on my knees) I go back to my pew, kneel and pray - the singing doesn't bother me. I don't feel the need to sing with Christ in my mouth or having just consumed. I would rather offer my prayers up to my God.

@@carolereichert8844 The key word is reverence. It bothers the many I talk to that don’t come back to that church. They want time to meditate without a rambunctious song being screeched out.

Yes that is right. Only an ordained clergy member may touch the Holy Eucharist because his hands are consecrated.

So did Jesus have the Apostles kneel and place communion on their tongues?

A LOUD 🔊 AMEN UNTIL THIS PRACTICE IS STOPPED THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ⛪ WILL RETURN TO IT'S FORMER GLORY ENOUGH OF THE FLUFF

Transitional deacons were permitted to touch the Host. And how is touching with the tongue better than with the hand?

It's making Jesus reachable to ordinary people. Thus, receiving Communion with hand on top with the other is now the permitted. Only the practice is changed but the sanctity of the Holy Communion remains the same.

Yes, your right.

absolutely not!

It is in Scotland.

A lot of people hide behind the bliss of ignorance. Sadly, most of them were born Catholics and arrogantly assume themselves exempted by the rules. It really is a shame to see converts do a lot better than some of us who are two, three, four, five generations of legacy failing to set better examples of ourselves.

Do u mean u will become a Roman Catholic next year? Anglicans believe they are catholics but they are not. They are protestant. They do not have a Priesthood. They only Ministers of the Gospel as declared by Cromwell in the reign of Elizabeth I. Archbishop Welby is a christian but he is not a Priest. If u are coming into the Catholic Church then I welcome u home. The Love and Blessings of Jesus to u my brother.

@@Anon.5216 t y for the kind words, yes this coming september i will start my training with a helper, next EASTER 2024 i will take my vows to be able to take proper communion not just the blessing from my priest HENRY THE 8TH HAS A LOT TO ANSWER TO BEFORE HIM WE WERE ALL CATHOLIC GOD BLESS YOU

Brother pay attention if the line of consecrating the bishops and priests is not broken back to the apostles. Not all anglican churches have this unbroken line.

Welcome🙏🏻🙏🏻

Yes, very little or no effort at all is given by folks who does this habitually. At the very least, they should feel uneasy about being underdressed.

Read the Bible and you'll see that the teachings of the Roman Catholics are NOT right.

Thanks for alertness

That's not your grandmother's thing. That's the rule of the roman church. It's a very weak rule, practically a joke. Roman's used to fast from midnight the night before the way we byzantine catholics do. No food or water until receiving Holy Communion so that our Lord Himself breaks our fast. That's how it's supposed to be, back when Rome believed in the Apostolic faith.

@@Byzantine_Catholic Thank you for the added info, Sir. If not for her, I shouldnt have known. Bless my lola's soul.

The Roman Rite also includes Traditional Latin Mass . Fasting night before , Communion only on the tongue while kneeling , do not say Amen , but interiorly say “My Lord and my God”. Quiet time for prayer afterward.

100%🥰

@@Angel-Max7728 Thank you.🥰

Correct. But if adhered to, who is worthy to receive communion?

None of us are worthy. In the name of Christian charity, who are you to determine who is worthy or not.

@@Joseph-es6mu i think you misunderstood...

It's a good reminder thank you very much

@@user-mr7om7ko3f ni Ji ji bhi Dr

Hello Paul, how are you doing today.

Are we worthy to hold eucharist in our hand?

@@peterfernandes2140 NO. Our hands are not consecrated. We can only receive on tongue. During our baptism the priest put salt on our tongue making our tongue worthy to touch the holy eucharist

@@genevievedioneda3258 Wrong. That was changed by Vatican II. Also the reason we have Eucharistic Ministers and Deacons who can distribute Hold Eucharist. Hand on tongue is very unsanitary. I cringe when the person before me received the Eucharist on their tongue, passing germs to the priest's hands, which then get transferred to who knows how many others receiving. Ans no, the transformation of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ does not eliminate germs.

@@jimgriffin9924why receive the holy Eucharist if this is how you think.? You are infact a great unbeliever

He shall not be called father, call him priest or presbiter. Read the Matthew gospel, what said Jesus. Not call anyone in the Church father.

😂

He sounds like AI, not a person.

Thank you Jesus

or even learned

Jesus uses parallelism in this discourse to equate believing with eating his flesh. Note the parallel between verse 40 and verse 54: (Jn. 6:40) “For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.” (Jn. 6:54) “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” According to this parallel, beholding and believing (v.40) are equated with eating and drinking Christ’s flesh (v.54). This is further paralleled by verse 35: (Jn. 6:35) I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. (Jn. 6:54) “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” To “hunger” and “thirst” and parallel to the one who “eats” and “drinks.” But note what Jesus says satisfies our hunger: “He who comes to Me… he who believes in Me.” Jesus isn’t speaking about his literal flesh and blood any more than he is speaking about literal bread (Jn. 6:35) or literal water (Jn. 4:10-14). Indeed, Jesus uses the term sarx for his “body,” rather than the common term sōma (which was the common term used in the Lord’s Supper). Indeed, the “term ‘flesh’ is never used in the NT to refer to the Lord’s Supper.”[4] Hence, this seems “to caution against a sacramental or eucharistic understand of these verses.”[5] This is why Augustine of Hippo wrote regarding this passage: “Believe, and you have eaten.” The early church knew NOTHING of transubstantiation. Irenaeus of Lyons (AD 180) stated that the elements do not lose the nature of bread and wine (Against Heresies, 4.18.4-5; 5.2.2). Tertullian (AD 200) said Jesus’ statement was figurative (Against Marcion, 3.19). Clement of Alexandria (AD 200) called the bread and wine symbols of Jesus’ body (The Instructor, I.6). Origen (AD 250) held his typical allegorical and spiritual view when referring to the elements in the Last Supper. Eusebius of Caesarea (AD 340) called the elements the body and blood of Christ, but also referred to them as symbolic of spiritual realities (On the Theology of the Church, 3.2.12). Augustine (AD 350) believed that John 6:53 should be understood spiritually and symbolically-not literalistically (On Christian Doctrine 3.16.2). Gelasius I (5th century pope): “The sacrament which we receive of the body and blood of Christ is a divine thing. Wherefore also by means of it we are made partakers of the divine nature. Yet the substance or nature of the bread and wine does not cease to be… Thus, as the elements pass into this, that is, the divine substance by the Holy Ghost, and none the less remain in their own proper nature.”..

Thank You Catholic Guides for your guidance. I do appreciate it very much. May God Bless You All 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤ AMEN.

This is pre vatacin nonsense

Amen

Your priest made that up by himself. That instruction is not Catholic. Your priest is wrong. What next? Swing a dead chicken over your head?

it was'nt made up. It is bowing before the Lord prior to receiving him. in honor of his presense in the Eurcharist

You are mistaken. It was cooked up by individual Catholics who want to inject their own sanctimony into a fake ritual. It's an abomination by people who think they are God as opposed to worshipping God.@@WilliamNadeau-uw1no

Brother please 😊. You're welcome. Thanks for watching 🙏

True

The Catholic Church has been lacking in its teachings to its members. It seems the clergy have been assuming that if people occupy a pew, they know the teachings of the Church and of the apostles.

No the Church shouldn't. We don't learn the practice of our religion from the internet.Most of these rules are from the dark ages. Vatican II had it right. Quit engaging in meaningless rituals for the sake of ritual. They are a mockery to God and designed to make you feel righteous. Focus on God's righteousness and not your own. To do otherwise is selfish and insincere. Mass is not theater for one to show off with rituals that were never meant to be. Most of these practices were cooked up by crazy, ignorant Catholics who don't know squat about their faith. Be real about your faith and not phony!

​@davidculp-mp5hi -- You can try explaining that to Sts. Peter and John, but they may not be able to hear you by then. [Read the early church fathers before commenting further.]

​@denisfillion3196 -- Many of the clergy (the liberal ones) lack the Faith and, therefore, the authority to instruct others. That's why many middle-aged and older lay people don't have a clue what they're doing -- they were never catechized properly! The newest priests and some of the younger generation of lay people are learning in depth what a gift their true Catholic Faith really is -- and they are the wonderful rebirth of Christ's Church in His Truth. ❤
