The Majesty of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament

"As a bishop I cannot be silent". The auxiliary bishop of Karaganda in Kazakhstan has spoken with Gloria.TV about his new book "Dominus est" in which he sharply criticises the practice of communion in the hand.

God Bless the Bishop for having the fortitude to speak out against the sacrilege of Communion in the hand. From Mel Kesser

Why can’t we return to what was before and what worked so well in this regard?

It can be done. A town in which I previously lived had a priest, who with the permission of the Ordinary of the Diocese, put altar railings back in the church. In addition, he made much better use of the paten for protecting the Sacred Host if it should fall. While never refusing “communion in the hand”, this same priest has re-engendered such respect for the Blessed Sacrament I would venture a guess that many, if not most parishioners, receive(d) communion on the tongue. Concomitantly, this priest has few problems getting altar servers to help with communion --perhaps because he has opted to have only boys as servers.

It has always bothered me to watch people going up for communion without showing reverence for our lord. I ask myself have they washed their hands, what about the particles that are left in the hands from handling the Eucharist, what are they thinking? how does one purify ones hands? It is in fact a sacrilegious act and no one seems to care. It is a sign of the times. From Gaetan Gouraige
