I receive on the tongue, except when serving as an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist, because the priest distributes to the minister from the Altar, two steps up from us, and it is difficult for him to place it on our tongue.<br /><br />I have always preferred to receive the Eucharist this way. I am a pre-Vatican II child, and then we were taught that it was a sin for anyone other than the priest to touch the Host with one's hands.<br /><br />This is not lunch or a snack, but rather a Meal for Life. It bothers me when people approach it too casually. I cried for each of my four children when they received Holy Communion for the first time, and I am a man. Still today, I frequently cry when I distribute Holy Communion. When people approach to receive, I see Christ in many forms. When you look into their eyes, you see Him in sadness and triumph and worry and so many forms. We need to welcome Him with honor. I am glad you have taught your daughter so powerful a lesson.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887657213262629506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389410365846038121.post-4998749863600908372013-05-09T16:51:26.156-04:002013-05-09T16:51:26.156-04:00I'm thrilled you liked it, Jessica.

She told me she wanted a new dress and it had to be to the floor length. She found a dress with spaghetti straps, but she picked out a beautiful bolero sweater to go over it....simply stunning. I couldn't have been more excited for her with her younger sister in the choir singing! <br /><br />Congratulations Maria and momma, what a special day it was!Ebethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090396741792229132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389410365846038121.post-30120579254694291152013-05-07T18:08:16.298-04:002013-05-07T18:08:16.298-04:00I'll tell her that someone from the blog said ...I'll tell her that someone from the blog said congrats (she'll think it's so cool).
