Is a Sin To Recieve Communion in Hand.

How Communion in the Hand began.

If a person should see Our Lord fall to the ground and not pick the Holy Eucharist up, that is a deplorable SIN! A gentleman we know found a Host outside the church in the parking lot laying there on the ground, I wonder if anyone else saw the Host and never bothered to pick it up. But when this man did, he immediately brought it inside and told the pastor where he found it; the pastor's words,...…More
If a person should see Our Lord fall to the ground and not pick the Holy Eucharist up, that is a deplorable SIN! A gentleman we know found a Host outside the church in the parking lot laying there on the ground, I wonder if anyone else saw the Host and never bothered to pick it up. But when this man did, he immediately brought it inside and told the pastor where he found it; the pastor's words,... "What do you want me to do with it?" I certainly believe that host was consecrated, as I and others we know have actully witnessed people walking outside with the host when placed in their hands. Last month, a good friend of mine was telling me she saw a lady take the Eucharist in the hands, walk back to her pew, and not consume the host, but kept it in her hand. My friend watched her, then got up and crossed over the aisle and went to this woman and told her "You better consume that right now", and then she finally did. So what was she planning on doing with it??? Now, when people witness such an abomination like this or like the girlfriend of the Costa Rica presidential runner, who had placed the Eucharist given to her in her hands into the POCKET of her lover....AND NOT ONE PERSON SAYS A THING, YES THAT IS A GREVIOUS SIN! When communion in the hands is allowing for all types of abuses, (which are MANY), does it not make sense that what the Holy Father is trying to do is the most sane and immediate action to which he knows must be taken? YES! We are living in extraordinary times. And when the Eucharistic Host falls on the floor in a Church or wherever, and no one cares enough to clean the area to make sure any particles are not left on the floor, and make reparation, then it certainly becomes a sin as Our Lord is being trampled on. Yet no one says anything. If we were to see Him in Body, would we trample on Him? What's the difference? Nothing. And the Holy Father is trying to correct this wrong.

Communion in the hand has caused Our Lord in the Eucharist to fall onto the ground, for people to walk over where He fell? Has He not Fallen enough for us, Yes!

I, myself have witness Him falling onto the floor THREE TIMES IN TWO WEEKS. The Holy Father is quite aware of the abuses taking place with communion in the hand and that is why he wishes those who receive from him to be kneeling and receive on the tongue. He is setting the example. Period

Saint Thomas Aquinas reminds us that reverence demands that only what has been consecrated should touch the Blessed Sacrament. By baptism, the Christian has been consecrated to receive the Lord in Holy Communion, but not to distribute the Sacred Host to others or unnecessarily to touch it.. He says, "To touch the Sacred Species and to distribute them with their own hands is a privilege of the ordained …More
Saint Thomas Aquinas reminds us that reverence demands that only what has been consecrated should touch the Blessed Sacrament. By baptism, the Christian has been consecrated to receive the Lord in Holy Communion, but not to distribute the Sacred Host to others or unnecessarily to touch it.. He says, "To touch the Sacred Species and to distribute them with their own hands is a privilege of the ordained, one which indicates an active participation in the mininstry of the Eucharist." (Dominicae Cenae, 11)

"We were at concelebrated Mass with the Holy Father, and we were absolutely forbidden to give Communion in the hands. Communion in the hand began, in the hand, with the publication of the Dutch Catechism with nobody's permission except the bishops- in effect, in principle separated themselves from the Holy See. One country after another began then to ask for permission, which the dutch bishops never asked for, permission to receive Communion in the hand. I was asked by the [U.S] bishops' Conference to write a defense of Communion on the tongue, and I again can talk for hours.
In the very, very early Church, Communion was given in the hands. Howers, as the faith of the Christians weakened in the Real Presence, by the 5th, 6th centuries Communion on the tongue became mandatory - remained mandatory until the present century. Behind Communion in the hand - I wish to repeat and make as plain as I can - is a weakening, a conscious, deliberate weakening of faith in the Real Presence.
Those wanting Communion in the hand kept pushing and pushing. Finally, meantime, I was asked by the vice-president of the Catholic Conference of Bishops to defend Communion on the tongue, which I did. To get enough votes to give communion in the hand, bishops who were retired, bishops who were dying, were solicited to vote to make sure that the vote would be affirmative in favor of Communion in the hand, WHATEVER YOU CAN DO TO STOP COMMUNION IN THE HAND WILL BE BLESSED BY GOD."

"Wherever I go in the whole world, the thing that makes me the saddest is watching people receive Communion in the hand."

Mother Teresa of Calcutta

There may be valid points in this vid - but could someone please re-post it with a human reading the commentary rather than a machine? I think there are real points to be addressed but to have a synthetic voice 'speaking' the text causes one to switch off. Thanks.

Hi,If a neo-protestant gives you enough rope, even if he says it's a "Holyrope" you can hang yourself with it!
Be very careful when you listen to disobedient, radical, traditionalist! They are holding hands with the author of division.
