By doing so, I witness my belief. I have gotten some really dirty looks at Mass, especially from female EEMs "of a certain age".ignorant redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718783732896413346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673639169019002933.post-11300749580831888472008-04-16T22:59:00.000-07:002008-04-16T22:59:00.000-07:00Tom, have you seen Mel Gibson's movie, The Passion...Tom, have you seen Mel Gibson's movie, The Passion?

I prefer too, to receive the sacred host from consecrated hands.<BR/><BR/> I'll tell you a true story PM.<BR/><BR/> Some years ago when my Father approached the altar for communion, something happened that deeply touched him and reinforced the reason for his continuing to receive communion on the tongue.<BR/><BR/>As the priest attempted to place the host on my Father's tongue, he dropped it. My father was mortified, particularly as the priest made no attempt to pick up the sacred host.My distraught Father bowed his head hoping to somehow retrieve the host with his<BR/> tongue, as he did not wish to touch the host with his unconsecrated hands.<BR/>When he was a couple of inches away from the host, a most amazing and wonderful thing happened, the host leapt onto his tongue!<BR/><BR/>No one else was privy to this little miracle from Jesus.<BR/><BR/>My Father returned to his seat, overcome with emotion and love for Our Blessed Lord.Kathy Farrellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532126739204105127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673639169019002933.post-88615508419504740242008-04-16T21:46:00.000-07:002008-04-16T21:46:00.000-07:00PG-I LOVE the excerpt of the book you posted.

That year, I had a sort of re-conversion (although I never left the church). There is no way I could receive in the hand again. I feel so much closer to Jesus, as well as so much more reverent and aware of the Presence of Our Lord. Although I am physically unable, like Shirley, I would prefer to be kneeling as well.pam jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16002756533718031055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673639169019002933.post-31699753644205868302008-04-16T17:09:00.000-07:002008-04-16T17:09:00.000-07:00Shirley, thanks for lending it to me.
