White Knight Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Okay everyone I have a question about Ministers of Holy Communion. The three children at Fatima received holy communion from the Angel of the Lord before seeing the Blessed Virgin Mary. I am sure through out history there have been other cases of Angels doing the same thing, however since it is not a oridinary thing to happen, what would that Angel's be considered? Holy Angels are perfect and Holy, and have no sin, therefore surpass a Ordinary Minster of Holy Communion's level of Holiness, rather it is a Deacon, Priest, Bishop, or even the Pope himself. But they are not the regular ministers of holy communion unlike deacons, priests, and bishops, they at the sametime cannot be called Extra-Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, because they are not the Lay people or have not received ordination of any kind. Rather that they are Messagers of of the Blessed Holy Trinity and do not often give out Holy Communion on a regular basis. The idea that it is a extraordinary event when this happens, it is obviously a "miracle" It doesn't take place often and it is supernatural in a firm grounded reality. So angels are holy purely intellectual spirits that message from God to Man throughout time and history to give the knowledge of God's plan for humanity...... Later that year in the autumn, the third and last vision ocurred when the children took their sheep to the same place where the first apparition took place. There in the blessed place of the Cabeço, they were reciting the prayer the Angel had taught them when above them an unknown light appeared. Lucia relates, “We got up again to see what was happening, and we saw the Angel again, who had in his left hand a Chalice over which was suspended a Host, from which some drops of Blood fell into the Chalice.†Leaving the Chalice and the Host suspended in the air, he prostrated himself down to the earth near the children and repeated a prayer three times.Then, getting up, the Angel took the Chalice and Host. He gave Lucia the Sacred Host on the tongue. Then while giving the Precious Blood from the Chalice to Francisco and Jacinta, he said: “Eat and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men. Make reparation for their crimes and console your God.†Then, prostrating himself on the ground he repeated with the children three times the same prayer: Most Holy Trinity, etc., and disappeared. This final apparition of the Angel was clearly the summit of the three, as the children were graced to see the Precious Blood of Our Lord fall from the Sacred Host into the Chalice, and then receive Holy Communion from the hands of the Angel.http://www.fatimafamily.org/fatima-apparition-of-the-angel/ http://www.fatimafamily.org/fatima-apparition-of-the-angel/ http://www.fatimafamily.org/fatima-apparition-of-the-angel/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
