OraProMe Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Does the indult for communion in the hand only apply to the Novus Ordo or to any Catholic liturgy in the Latin rite? I thought there were different rules for the EF but I can't imagine these priests giving communion out like that if it were prohibited.

AccountDeleted Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Wow - I am shocked at that. But then they don't kneel down either. At our Mass, we all kneel to receive, and everybody receives on the tongue. I don't know the rules though for an EF - it will be interesting to hear from the experts here.

Ora et Labora Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I don't exactly know what the rules are either. I went to a Tridentine Mass for over 5 years and most automatically received on the tongue. But I HAVE seen people receive from the hand and the priests went along with it. I receive on the tongue at any Mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I worry about the host dropping when we aren't even kneeling and there is no paten underneath. The whole thing just upsets me. I would prefer never to go to the NO now if I can help it. I saw a Mass that Pope Benedict did on TV - it was NO, but the people all had to kneel on a prie dieu and they received on the tongue - now I could handle that!

Hilde Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I've only been to one once, and then they all kneeled at the pews, and the priest walked around and put it on their tongues. I think it's a great idea. No walking around, no distractions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be intimidated by the prospect of Our Lord being dumped on the floor than by what any mere human being thought, felt, or said. You shouldn't be intimidated if they threatened to [i]kill[/i] you. This is the Eucharist we're talking about. ~Sternhauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all go up to the communion rail and the priest walks along to each person, but he certainly doesn't try to come out to the pews! I don't know how he could reach everyone that way.

I don't want Our Lord to fall onto the floor because they don't use a paten and the priest or EMH doesn't know how to put the host on the tongue, and I am standing etc... this seems a lot more dangerous to me than trying to scrape up the few particles left on my hand. But judge away oh just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I seem to remember being told that Communion on the Hand is absolutely not permitted in the EF. It's only an indult specific to the OF in certain countries. I may be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle_eye222001 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 The EF Mass where I go to, the priest refuses to distribute communion on the hand even if a person attempts to receive as such. I don't know offhand where the citation for it is though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
