| receiving dipped host | Jane | Thursday, January 1, 2009 |
Question: Hello: Hello: As the Pope has started to have communion on the tongue and not hand and most priests seem to dip the host in the blood to ensure one receives on the tongue, what happens when a person can not under any circumstances receive the blood of Christ and althought the priest is aware of this will not make an exception? How is one to keep the minimum of receiving once a year? Thank you Jane |

| Question Answered by Mr. Jacob Slavek
Dear Jane,If the priest is not willing to make an exception, not even once a year, then I really think the problem is with the priest and not with you. You'll need help from another priest if he won't be reasonable with you and allow you to receive once per DAY.Mr. Slavek Footer Notes: (a) A Eucharistic Minister is clergy (Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion). Laity are Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion and should never be called Eucharistic Ministers. (b) There is no such Mass called the Novus Ordo. The Current Mass is the Roman Missal of 2000, or the Oridinary Form of the Mass. The Tridentine Mass is the Roman Missal of 1962, or the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. Please refrain from using the term, Novus Ordo. Thanks. (c) The titles of Acolyte and Lector belong exclusively to the Installed Offices of Acolyte and Lector, who are men (only) appointed by the Bishop. These roles performed by others are Altar Servers and Readers, respectively. |
