munion, go not with your wrists extended, nor with
your fingers separated, but placing one hand as
a throne for the other, which is to receive so
great a King, and in the hollow of the palm
receive the body of Christ, saying, Amen.” Having received the host, the communicant then steps
to one side, takes the host and reverently places it
in the mouth. The communicant should not walk
away carrying the host. We encourage parents to
share the points above with their children.
The approach to receive Communion has
that single intent: to receive the Body and Blood of
Christ. It is not an appropriate time to come forward to receive a blessing in lieu of the Eucharist if
for some reason an individual is not able to receive.
This is also true for children below the age of reception. This has become a practice adopted in
some parishes, but it is really not proper. A personal blessing should not be accepted as an alternative to the Eucharist. A public blessing will be
extended to the entire congregation at the end of
the Mass.
And speaking of that final blessing, all in the
congregation are most strongly encouraged to complete the celebration in its entirety, which includes
the final hymn. Leaving directly after Communion
is certainly not fitting.
Finally, it is probably appropriate to review
again whom the Church invites to the Eucharist. At
the direction of the United States Conference of
Catholic Bishops, every missalette carries guidelines
about Communion for non-Catholic Christians. (You
can find it on the inside cover of our missalette.)
The bishops tell us that while we welcome fellow
Christians, united in a common baptism, to share
prayer with us, we cannot share Communion until we
share oneness of faith and worship. Therefore, in
the main, Protestant Christians cannot be invited to
receive Communion.
Catholics themselves must be properly disposed to receive Communion. Those who are conscious of grave sin or whose personal lives are not in
conformity with Church discipline should not receive
Communion without sacramental Confession first.
These practices as given to us by the Church
are offered not for their own sake but to foster greater appreciation of the living Christ who presents himself to us in the celebration of Mass. As was said last
week, when we are more strongly united to Christ in
the Eucharist, we pray that his presence in our
hearts will be reflected in greater charity, compassion, and more generous service to one another in
our parish, and indeed to all we encounter, especially
any in need.
Dear Parishioners,
Last week I offered some observations
drawn from the recent liturgical ministers’ meetings
that were held in early October. I would like to continue with other suggestions that were shared.
In the conversations with the Extraordinary
Ministers of Holy Communion, points regarding reverence for the Eucharist and the manner in which
we receive Communion were reviewed.
Preparation for Communion, the Eucharistic
Fast, is still an expected practice to properly dispose
oneself to receive the Body and Blood. We are expected to refrain from solid food and liquids (except
water) for one hour before receiving Communion.
Medication, of course, may always be taken.
The faithful are encouraged to respect the
integrity of the Eucharist, the integral connection
between the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of
the Eucharist; between the Word of God and the
Real Presence of Christ in the consecrated bread
and wine. We do not attend Mass just to receive
Christ in Holy Communion. We come to encounter
the Lord, who is present in Word, in Sacrament, in
the community, in the celebrant, and in the unity of
the Liturgy.
Approaching the Communion station is a
time to be focused on the Eucharist without distractions. So, it is not an appropriate moment to greet
friends or chat. A reverent bow should be made
while the person in front is receiving the Eucharist.
The communicant then steps forward. The communicant should not wait to be standing in front of the
minister and then bow.
Communion on the tongue is always acceptable. This option has not been abrogated. The
faithful should receive Communion in a manner they
find most reverent; there is no “preferred” practice.
The proper response to “The Body of Christ”
is, “Amen.” This ancient word acknowledges more
than just a belief in the sacramental presence of
Christ. It signifies a personal acceptance of and participation in the Paschal mystery, which the Eucharist embodies.
“Thank you” or other formulae
should be avoided. “Amen” says so much more.
We “receive” Communion; we do not “take”
communion. Therefore, for the individual receiving
Communion in the hand it is not appropriate to
reach out with two fingers ready to “take” the host
from the minister’s hands. The communicant’s
hands should be presented with palms open, one
hand placed over the other (not side-by-side.) Note:
Receiving Communion in the hand is not a recent
novelty but an ancient practice, referred to by the
Fathers of the Church. In the words of St. Cyril of
Jerusalem: “When you approach to receive com-

Cathedral of St. Agnes.
This award was established by Bishop Murphy in 2007
in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Diocese of Rockville Centre. Each year an
individual or a married couple from every parish in the
diocese is recognized for service and dedication.
“Honorees are lay people whose love of the Church has
been shown through their devotion to the Holy Father,
to our diocese and to their parish,” said Bishop Murphy.
“They are the unsung heroes in our midst who build up
our parish communities by extraordinary service in parish ministry, parish administration or some significant
volunteer role.”
All our Best Wishes to you, Lorraine & John!

In an attempt to help the receiving parishes streamline their distribution, and our donors simplify their shopping, we are
making some changes to the “suggested shopping list” we usually provide. More detail will be published in the bulletin and
in the letter of instruction you receive after you have signed up.
The deadline for signing up is Thursday, November 6, 2014. There are several ways to sign up:
Return the bottom portion of this form to one of the “Sponsor a Family” boxes at the church entrances;

Mail the form to St. Joseph’s Parish Social Ministry at 120 Fifth Street.
All food is to be dropped off at St. Joseph’s School/CCD entrance on Fourth Street on Saturday, November 22 between 9:30
and 11:30 a.m. If you have any questions, please contact Lita Carballeira at 431-8959, Pat DiMattia at 294-9316. Thank you
