Question first

Some
of our parishioners may not understand about dropping communion into our
mouths. Could you please address
this again or put it in the bulletin? Thank
you!
As
plainly stated before, there is no “right” or “wrong” way (open mouth
or closing mouth) to receive Holy Communion by means of a spoon held by the
priest or deacon. There is only
the preference of the priest or deacon who is doing the distributing.
I
prefer that adults and older children, who have been taught and are able, tilt
their head back, open their mouth wide and allow the priest/deacon to drop the
particle of communion into it.
However,
I am not going to rebuke those children or adults who close their mouths on
the spoon.
