tinytherese Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I went to the 8 a.m. mass today and Fr. announced that lately there have been what appear to be consecrated hosts found in missalets, the trash bin, and in other places in the church. I don't know if any of this was done deliberately or not, but we want to end this, so please pray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intellects will continue to be darkened, and wills are going to continue to choose evil, at least for the foreseeable future. The forecast for the next few years seems to include dark and cloudy skies with a strong chance of fire and brimstone on most afternoons. Doppler radar indicates that the conditions are perfect for the development of scorpion-laden tornadoes." ~Sternhauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I hope they find out later that they were unconsecrated hosts being used as a prank by altar boys. That happened once when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennn Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 That is horrible. I will keep this in my prayers. We've had cases here where some kids were playing with the Sacred Host and laughing at Him. It is sorrowful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilde Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 That's sad if they were consecrated. What makes you think that they were? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One in the trash, another in the missalette, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melporcristo Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) +JMJT+ Sad I had an experience about a month ago during Holy Communion when I happened to look up to see a young teen holding the Blessed Sacrament after coming from line. Other people who saw just shrugged their sholders and kept walking so I politely excused myself and quietly followed her back to her seat where she was showing Jesus to her friends. I whispered, "Hi just wanting to let you know that that's Jesus (I was really shakey at this point) and you're supposed to consume Him if you're a Catholic in the state of Grace." Then she looked at the Host again and said, "Oh. Sorry." and gave me Jesus. It was such a crazy situation but I'm glad Christ didn't get thrown on the floor that day ...

[/quote] I usually go to the abbey of Tongerlo, and sometimes there are classes from schools that come to Mass. The sacrilege is so great then. There is a serious lack of catechesis these days and people just shove up in line to desecrate the Host as if Holy Communion is just some kind of formality.
