fides' Jack Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 There's an excellent thread in the Q & A section, and it prompted me to ask a similar question to a wider audience. Am I the only one who [i]tries[/i] to lick the priest's/extraordinary minister's hand while receiving? Okay - not really. I mean, I want to make sure God doesn't fall on the floor, so I consciously try to stick my tongue out pretty far, and I often lick the person giving me the Eucharist.

Annie12 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I have an issue with biting the priest's finger by mistake. It's pretty embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably don't mind all that much. Unless you're a guy. Then they probably do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4588686 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Um, ok. In my Church if you take it by tongue you place your tongue out there and the Priest places the host on your tongue. I don't understand what your Churchs are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to nitpick - they're [i]Extraordinary Ministers[/i] of Holy Communion, not Eucharistic Ministers. I'm sure you meant that; sometimes old habits die hard.
