The Reception of Holy Communion at Mass
The Church understands the Communion Procession, in fact every procession in liturgy, as a sign of the pilgrim Church, the
body of those who believe in Christ, on their way to the Heavenly Jerusalem. All our lives we who believe in Christ are moving in time
toward that moment when we will be taken by death from this world and enter into the joy of the Lord in the eternal Kingdom he has
prepared for us.
The liturgical assembly of the baptized that comes together for the celebration of the Eucharist is a witness to, a manifestation
of, the pilgrim Church. When we move in procession, particularly the procession to receive the body and blood of Christ in
Communion, we are a sign, a symbol of that pilgrim Church 'on the way.' For some, however, the experience of the Communion
Procession is far more prosaic, analogous perhaps to standing on line in the supermarket or at the motor vehicle bureau. A perception
such as this is a dreadfully inaccurate and impoverished understanding of what is a significant religious action.
The Communion Procession is an action of the Body of Christ. At Christ's invitation, extended by the priest acting in Christ's
person: Happy are they who are called to his supper, the members of the community move forward to share in the sacred meal, to
receive the body and blood of Christ which is the sign and the source of their unity. In fact, each time we move forward together to
receive the body and blood of the Lord, we join the countless ranks of all the baptized who have gone before us, our loved ones, the
canonized and uncanonized saints down through the ages, who at their time in history formed a part of this mighty stream of
believers.
This action by Christ's body, the Church assembled for the Eucharist, is manifested and supported by the Communion Hymn,
a hymn in praise of Christ sung by the united voices of those who believe in him and share his life. The General Instruction of the
Roman Missal takes this hymn very seriously, mandating that it should begin at the Communion of the priest and extend until the last
person has received Communion.
For some, however, the singing of this hymn is perceived as an intrusion on their own prayer, their private thanksgiving after
Communion. In fact, however, this hymn is prayer, the corporate thanksgiving prayer of the members of Christ's Body, united with
one another. Over and over again the prayers of the liturgy and the norms of the General Instruction emphasize this fundamental
concept of the unity of the baptized, stressing that when we come together to participate in the Eucharistic celebration we come, not as
individuals, but as united members of Christ's body. In each of the Eucharistic Prayers, though the petition is worded in slightly
different ways, God is asked to send his Holy Spirit to make us one body, one spirit in Christ; the General Instruction admonishes the
faithful that they should become one body, whether by hearing the word of God, or joining in prayers and singing ...(GIRM, no. 96) it
describes one of the purposes of the opening song of the Mass as to ... intensify the unity of those who have been gathered and says of
the Communion Chant that its function is to express outwardly the communicants’ union in spirit by means of the unity of their voices,
... and to highlight the communitarian nature of the procession to receive Communion.
It is difficult for some of us to embrace this emphasis on Mass as the action of a community rather than an individual act of
my own faith and piety, but it is important that we make every effort to do so. Christ himself at the Last Supper pleaded with his
Father: Holy Father, keep those you have given me true to your name, so that they may be one like us ... Father may they be one in us,
as you are in me and I am in you ... Jn. 17: 11; 21. Baptism has joined us to Christ and to one another as the vine and its branches. The
life of Christ, the Holy Spirit, animates each of us individually, and all of us corporately and guides us together in our efforts to become
one in Christ.
Finally, the fact that the Communion Procession is a profoundly religious action tells us something about the way in which we
should participate in this procession. We are the Body of Christ, moving forward to receive the Christ who makes us one with himself
and with one another. Our procession should move with dignity; our bearing should be that of those who know they have been
redeemed by Christ and are coming to receive their God!
The new edition of the General Instruction asks the Conference of Bishops in each country to determine the posture to be
used for the reception of Communion and the act of reverence to be made by each person as he or she receives Communion. The
Conference of Bishops of the United States has determined that in this country Communion will be received standing and that a bow
will be the act of reverence made by those receiving. These norms may require some adjustment on the part of those who have been
used to other practices, however the significance of unity in posture and gesture as a symbol of our unity as members of the one body
of Christ should be the governing factor in our own actions.
Those who receive Communion may receive either in the hand or on the tongue, and the decision should be that of the
individual receiving, not of the person distributing Communion. If Communion is received in the hand, the hands should first of all be
clean. If one is right handed the left hand should rest upon the right. The host will then be laid in the palm of the left hand and then
taken by the right hand to the mouth. If one is left-handed this is reversed. It is not appropriate to reach out with the fingers and take
the host from the person distributing.
The person distributing Communion says audibly to each person approaching, 'The Body of Christ'. This formula should not
be altered, as it is a proclamation which calls for a response of faith on the part of the one who receives. The communicant should
audibly respond 'Amen,' indicating by that response his or her belief that this small wafer of bread, the wine in this chalice are in
reality the body and blood of Christ the Lord.
When one receives from the chalice, the same proclamation is made by the person distributing Communion and the
Communicant again responds 'Amen.' It should be noted that it is never permissible for a person to dip the host he or she has received
into the chalice. If, for some reason, the communicant is not able or willing to drink from the cup then that person should receive only
under the form of bread.
It seems appropriate to conclude this reflection on the Communion Procession and the reception of Communion with a
quotation from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
In Baptism we have been called to form but one body. The Eucharist fulfills this call: 'The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a
participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one
bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread (1 Cor 10:16, 17):
If you are the body and members of Christ, then it is your sacrament that is placed on the table of the Lord; it is your sacrament that
you receive. To that which you are you respond 'Amen' ('yes,' it is true!') and by responding to it you assent to it. For you hear the
words, 'the Body of Christ and respond 'Amen.' Be then a member of the Body of Christ that your Amen may be true. (St. Augustine)
(CCC n.1396)
La Recepción de la Sagrada Comunión En La Misa
Page 3
La Iglesia entiende la Procesión de la Comunión y, de hecho toda procesión litúrgica, como un signo de la Iglesia peregrina, el
cuerpo de aquéllos que creen en Cristo, en su camino hacia la Jerusalén Celestial. A lo largo de nuestras vidas, nosotros, los que creemos
en Cristo, nos movemos en el tiempo hacia ese momento en que seremos llevados de este mundo por la muerte y entraremos en el gozo
de nuestro Señor, al Reino eterno que nos ha preparado.
La asamblea litúrgica de los bautizados que vienen a reunirse para la celebración de la Eucaristía es un testigo, una
manifestación, de la iglesia peregrina. Cuando nos movemos en procesión, particularmente, en la procesión para recibir el cuerpo y la
sangre de Cristo en la Comunión, somos un signo, un símbolo de esa Iglesia peregrina “en camino”. Para algunos, sin embargo, la
experiencia de la Procesión de la Comunión es mucho más prosaica y hasta análoga con el hacer cola en el supermercado o en la
Dirección General de Vehículos Motorizados. Una percepción como ésta es una comprensión terriblemente incorrecta y empobrecida de
una acción religiosa significativa.
La Procesión de la Comunión es una acción del Cuerpo de Cristo. Los miembros de la comunidad, respondiendo a la invitación
del mismo Cristo por medio del Sacerdote que actúa “en la Persona de Cristo”1 (Bienaventurados aquéllos que han sido llamados a la
cena del Señor)2, donde se dará el compartir el alimento sagrado, recibido en el cuerpo y la sangre de Cristo, señal y fuente de unidad.
De hecho, cada vez que nos disponemos para recibir el cuerpo y la sangre del Señor, nos unimos a los innumerables rangos de todos los
bautizados que han muerto antes que nosotros, nuestros seres queridos, los santos canonizados y no canonizados a lo largo de los siglos,
quienes en algún momento de la historia formaron parte de este gran multitud de creyentes.
Esta acción del cuerpo de Cristo, la Iglesia reunida para la Eucaristía, se manifiesta y se apoya en el Himno de la Comunión, un
himno de alabanza a Cristo cantado al unísono por las voces de quienes creen en Él y comparten Su vida. La Instrucción General del
Misal Romano toma muy en serio este himno, estableciendo que debe empezar en el momento de la Comunión del sacerdote y que debe
extenderse hasta que la última persona haya comulgado.
Sin embargo, algunas personas consideran que cantar este himno es una intromisión en su propia oración, su propia acción de
gracias privada después de la Comunión. Sin embargo, este himno es oración, la oración de acción gracias comunitaria de los miembros
del Cuerpo de Cristo, mutuamente unidos. Una y otra vez, las plegarias litúrgicas y las normas de la Instrucción General enfatizan este
concepto fundamental de la unidad de los bautizados, resaltando que cuando nos reunimos para participar en la celebración
Eucarística, venimos no como individuos sino como miembros unidos del Cuerpo de Cristo. En cada una de las Plegarias Eucarísticas,
aunque la petición se presenta con pequeñas diferencias, se le pide a Dios que envíe Su Espíritu Santo para hacernos un solo cuerpo, un
solo Espíritu; la Instrucción General invita a los fieles a que “actúen, pues, como un solo cuerpo tanto al escuchar la Palabra de Dios,
como al tomar parte en las oraciones y en los cantos y, en especial, al ofrecer comunitariamente el sacrificio y al participar todos juntos
en la mesa del Señor” (IGMR # 96), describe como uno de los propósitos del canto de entrada a la Misa intensifica la unión de los que se
han reunido3. Del Cántico de Comunión dice que su función es expresar abiertamente la unión espiritual de los comulgantes por medio
de la unidad de sus voces, y de resaltar el carácter comunitario de la Procesión de Comunión4.
Para algunos de nosotros es difícil aceptar esta insistencia en que la Misa es la acción de una comunidad en lugar de un acto
individual de nuestra propia fe y piedad; sin embargo, es importante que hagamos todo lo que esté a nuestro alcance para que así sea. El
propio Cristo en la última Cena le imploró a Su Padre: "Padre Santo, cuida en tu nombre a los que me has dado…para que todos sean
uno. Como tú, Padre, en mí y yo en ti, que ellos también sean uno en nosotros, para que el mundo crea que tú me has enviado"(Juan
17:11b; 21)5. El Bautismo nos ha unido a Cristo y a nuestro prójimo como la vid a sus ramas. La vida de Cristo, el Espíritu Santo, nos
anima a cada uno de nosotros de manera individual y a todos colectivamente y guía nuestros esfuerzos por llegar a ser uno en Cristo.
Finalmente, el hecho de que la Procesión de Comunión es una acción profundamente religiosa nos dice algo sobre la manera
en que debemos participar en esta procesión. Somos el Cuerpo de Cristo, avanzando para recibir a Cristo que nos hace uno con Él
mismo y con nuestro prójimo. Nuestra procesión debe avanzar con dignidad; ¡nuestro comportamiento debe ser como el de aquéllos
que saben que han sido redimidos por Cristo y que están viniendo a recibir a su Dios!
La nueva edición de la Instrucción General solicita a la Conferencia Episcopal de cada país que determine la postura corporal
de la Comunión y el acto de reverencia que se ha de realizar por cada persona en el momento de recibirla. La Conferencia de los Obispos
Católicos de los Estados Unidos ha determinado que en este país, la Comunión se reciba de pie y que se haga una venia como signo de
reverencia por parte de aquellas personas que la reciben. Estas normas pueden requerir ciertos ajustes de parte de aquéllos que han
estado acostumbrados a otras prácticas; sin embargo, el significado de unidad en la postura y el gesto corporal, como símbolo de
nuestra unidad como miembros del único cuerpo de Cristo, debe ser el factor predominante sobre nuestras propias acciones.
Quienes reciben la Comunión pueden hacerlo tanto en la mano como en la lengua; sin embargo, la decisión final está en la
persona que la recibe, no en la persona que la distribuye. Si la Comunión se recibe en la mano, las manos deben estar completamente
limpias. Si uno es diestro, la mano izquierda debe descansar sobe la mano derecha. La hostia será luego depositada sobre la palma de la
mano izquierda y luego tomada por la mano derecha hasta llevarla a la boca. Si una persona es zurda, se hará del modo contrario. Es
inapropiado tomarla con los dedos directamente de la mano de la persona que la distribuye.
La persona que distribuye la Comunión dice a cada persona que se aproxima y de manera que se oiga, "El Cuerpo de Cristo".
Esta fórmula no debe ser alterada ya que es una proclamación que invita a una respuesta de fe de parte de la persona que la recibe. El
comulgante debe responder de manera audible "Amén", indicando, por su respuesta, su creencia de que este pequeño pedazo de pan y el
vino de este cáliz son en realidad el cuerpo y la sangre de Cristo, el Señor.
Cuando uno recibe la Comunión del cáliz, la persona que distribuye la Comunión hace la misma proclamación y el comulgante
nuevamente responde "Amén" . Cabe notar que no está permitido que una persona introduzca la hostia que ha recibido dentro del cáliz.
Si, por alguna razón, el comulgante no puede o no desea beber del cáliz, debe recibir la Comunión sólo en la forma de pan.
Parece apropiado concluir esta reflexión sobre la Procesión de Comunión y la recepción de la Comunión con una cita del
Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica: "En el Bautismo fuimos llamados a no formar más que un solo cuerpo (Cf. 1Co 12, 13). La Eucaristía
realiza esta llamada: ‘El cáliz de bendición que bendecimos, ¿no es acaso comunión con la Sangre de Cristo? Y el pan que partimos ¿no
es comunión con el Cuerpo de Cristo? Porque aún siendo muchos, un solo pan y un solo cuerpo somos, pues todos participamos de un
solo pan’ (1 Co 10, 16- 17): Si ustedes mismos son Cuerpo y miembros de Cristo, son el sacramento que es puesto sobre la mesa del
Señor, y reciben este sacramento suyo. Responden "Amén" (es decir, ‘sí’, es verdad) a lo que reciben, con lo que, respondiendo, lo
reafirman. Oyes decir "el Cuerpo de Cristo" y respondes "Amén". Por lo tanto, sé tú verdadero miembro de Cristo para que tu "Amén"
sea también verdadero" (San Agustín , sermón 272)” (CCC n. 1396).

For the Ride Home
Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
August 14, 2011
Scripture
for my salvation is about to come, my justice, about to be revealed.… for
my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
(Isaiah 56:1,7a)
For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable. (Romans 11:29)
I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (Matthew 15:24)
"O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish." And
the woman’s daughter was healed… (Matthew 15:27)
Reflection
What is God calling you to do?
What is most sacred in your life?
Are you sharing your gift with others? Do you share without using words
Has Jesus ever said to you, “let it be done as you wish?” What happened?
If we are not humble, we tend to demand that faith must also bring with it
good health, peace of mind, of luck, success in business, popularity, world
peace, and every other good thing that we can imagine. And it is true that God
can give us all these good things if He wants to. But they are of no importance
compared with faith, which is essential. If we insist on other things as the
price of believing, we tend by that very fact to undermine our own belief. I do
not think that it would be an act of mercy on God’s part to let us get away with
this.

THE ASSUMPTION
The doctrine of the Assumption says that at the end of her life on earth Mary
was assumed, body and soul, into heaven, just as Enoch, Elijah, and perhaps
others had been before her. It’s also
necessary to keep in mind what the
Assumption is not. Some people think
Catholics believe Mary "ascended" into heaven.
That’s not correct. Christ, by his own power,
ascended into heaven. Mary was assumed or
taken up into heaven by God. She didn’t do it
under her own power.
The Church has never formally defined
whether she died or not, and the integrity of
the doctrine of the Assumption would not be
impaired if she did not in fact die, but the
almost universal consensus is that she did die.
Pope Pius XII, in Munificentissimus Deus
(1950), defined that Mary, "after the
completion of her earthly life" (note the silence regarding her death), "was
assumed body and soul into the glory of heaven."
INSIDE OR OUTSIDE?
The Jesus we meet in today’s Gospel seems
a bit stand-offish. He appears at first to
ignore the Canaanite woman’s pleas to heal
her child! Matthew seems to be suggesting
that, until this point in his ministry, Jesus
himself thought that his mission was only
to the Jewish people. When he is
confronted by a Canaanite, and a woman at
that, he seems baffled. Her sheer
determination to make him listen ensures
that he cannot continue to ignore her.
More importantly, Jesus acknowledges
that her faith in him is equal to that of any
of the Jewish people he has met so far. In
the end, Jesus praises her faith and heals
her daughter. Matthew was writing his
Gospel for a community of Jewish
Christians who had identified Jesus as the
Messiah—the One promised by God to
generations of the Jewish people. They
were aware, however, that the Christian
faith was attracting people of other races
and other religions. They would,
inevitably, have been struggling to work
out how this fit with all the prophecies of
the Hebrew scriptures that foretold a
Messiah who was destined to save Israel.
The meeting between Jesus and the
Canaanite woman offers them a clue about
how to understand this situation. When
Jesus is challenged to heal the outsider, his
initial reaction is to refuse; but then he
sees her great faith, and this far outweighs
the fact that she does not belong to the
people he primarily came to save. In this
story the new Jewish Christian community
must have found help to see that their
initial reluctance to admit outsiders was
understandable, and then to recognize that
God plants faith in others too—and that it
is faith rather than background that opens
the doors into the Kingdom.

For many years we have been so blessed to have Fr. Jerome here helping us out. Fr. Jerome usually
visits during the summer months so our own priests can take some much deserved vacations. Each year we look
forward to our time with him, he is truly an asset to our Parish.
This year, however, is Fr. Jerome’s last year with us. He is finishing his formal education and looking
forward to teaching in his home country of India. While we are saddened by this, we are also very happy knowing
he will be home with his family and friends, something he has looked forward to for many years.
We would like to show our appreciation to Fr. Jerome for his many years of service and dedication to our
Parish. Please join us on August 28, 2011 after the 8:00am, 9:30am and 11:00am Masses in the Conference
Room, light refreshments will be provided.

¿POR QUÉ REZAR?
Al escuchar las lecturas de hoy, tal vez nos sintamos tentados a preguntarnos: ¿Por qué rezar? Es una pregunta retórica; se equipara
a preguntar por qué han de hablarse los amigos o los enamorados besarse. Rezar es una manera de relacionarnos con Dios, una
manera de hablarle. Los apóstoles tuvieron la oportunidad de conversar en persona con Jesús encarnado. Nosotros tenemos la
oportunidad de hablar con Dios en la oración. Nuestra relación con él debe ser entusiasta; no puede ser pusilánime. John Donne, un
poeta y sacerdote inglés del siglo XV, supo cuáles eran la cualidades de una buena oración. Donne le pide a Dios que lo trate de
manera diferente que a la mayoría de los cristianos. El poeta no quiere que Dios meramente “golpee, aliente, brille y repare”, sino
que también “rompa, sople, queme y me haga nuevo” (Holy Sonnets, XIV). Se requiere una fe dinámica de nuestra parte para venir
a Dios en oración. Como dijo Jesús una vez: “Toca a la puerta y se te abrirá” (Mateo 7:7). Tal vez requiera golpear la puerta hasta
tumbarla, pero si perseveramos al igual que la mujer del Evangelio de hoy, veremos los resultados.© Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
La Corresponsabilidad Vivida Ahora
Las personas vienen a la Iglesia porque Dios las llama. Trata de
servir en un ministerio parroquial que reciba y ayude a las
personas que quieren ser católicas (el RICA) o en algún
ministerio que abre las puertas a los católicos que, habiéndose
alejado de la Iglesia, quieren regresar. Copyright © 2010, All rights reserved.
