Maccabeus Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 When the father holds up the Ostensorium and the Lord bless' everyone in his presence, so my question becomes so what's the difference between the Eucharist that is given into my hands, to the one that is in the Ostensorium blessing people? Also if I can touch it, than why does the priest have to have his hands covered in order the hold the Ostensorium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoketos Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 There is no essential difference between those hosts. The priest covers his hands during that kind of benediction to emphasize it is the person of Christ blessing us not the human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
