Only a priest should ever touch Our Lord in Holy Communion.
Our Lord did not say "Take and eat" to me, He said it to His (recently-ordained) Apostles.
@occasnltrvlr... Jesus said "Take and Eat' to every Catholic in the world for all time.
"another tick of satin" - What is that!? Listen fella, you really are an Novus Ordo clown! Everything - everything - we have and believe in our Catholic faith we receive from God, we do not take it, grab it, demand it or even have a right to it. Everything is given by God in and through our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church as His Gift to us to receive in worship, adoration, praise and thanksgiving. Get of your high Novus Ordo donkey and get a bit of humility - for the love of God. Holy Communion on the tongue is the most reverent and safest way of receiving the Lord - and remember it is the Lord! I recommend you to read Bishop Athanasius Schneider in Christus Vincit chapter 14 The Eucharist and Holy Communion page 219 and following.
@Beatus Vir... your outburst against me could potentially signal a mental unbalance since I simply take Jesus at his word... "Take and eat". I have saved 325 unborn babies form being murdered and 325 mothers from committing murder.
How about you!
