The Council of Trent: "If anyone denies that the whole Christ is contained in the venerable sacrament of the Eucharist under each species and under every part of each species, when the separation has been made: let be anathema (DS 1653)

I admonish you as you take part in the Divine Mysteries, when you have received the Body of the Lord; you exercise every care lest a particle fall and any of the consecrated gift perish. You are guilty, and rightly so, if any of it be lost through negligence.”
How many times I have come across extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist who are not properly trained for their commission by their bishops or pastors.
They were never taught to purify their pyx so consecrated particles remain and our dear Lord is carried to unspeakable places even into the rest room. I have witnessed a hospital chapel where Our Lord was strewn on the floor and particles were visible in the glass tabernacle on the corporal. Down the hall was a vacum cleaner! I consumed all of the particles on the ground and took the largest one to the Sister Chaplain telling her she would be responsible before God for all of the lost particles. Her reply: "If I am responsible of all of the lost particles I would never get anyone to become a Eucharistic Minister."
In one church in my diocese one priest has reported that the precious blood was being poured down the drain connected to the city sewer in the sacristy it did not go into the ground!
O My dear Lord you allowed yourself to be poured into the city sewer and this for years my friends!
How Long O Lord will You endure this generation!
I have witnessed priests breaking the extra large hosts while held over their heads. Consecrated particles falling into their hair on their shoulders, the altar and the ground only to be trampled on by the Eucharistic ministers who approach the altar or later brushed out of the priests hair the next time he combed it wherever that may be I don't want to think. This means that Our Lord is present even in the smallest particle of the Host, and in the smallest particle that may fall to the ground.
Thus the reverence that we owe to the Blessed Sacrament demands that we take every precaution that no particle of the Host not even the smallest is left open for desecration in any way.
The incidents I have had the unfortunate experience to witness were reported to the Cardinal of my diocese years ago and no response was made as far as I know. I have traveled to many places in the US, Canada as well as Europe and have witnessed similar abuses. How long will the Lord tolerate us? How long will he put up with us?
Bishops and priests remember that you will have to account to Our Lord for these abuses of the Blessed Sacrament by those under your charge!
Lord I beg you remove the blindness from our eyes so that we can see the abyss we are descending into before it is too late. The events of 9/11 and the world wide financial melt down are all warnings. Bishops and priests instruct your extraordinary ministers and choose them well! Listen to our Lady and make reparation for these sacrileges!

This is such an important topic that we must not take lightly and the biggest reason to ALWAYS RECEIVE ON THE TONGUE AND NOT IN THE HAND!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that Benedict XVI encourages this form of reception by example! In one parish I attend the people kneel for communion and you have the option to receive on the tongue or the hand. They also use a patten for those of us who receive on the tongue. But the people who just received Our Lord in their hands place their hands on the rail to help themselves get up! I will be publishing a post when I have time called Gold dust.How jewerly makers use special tools and clothing to collect even the dust from the gold as they work on jewlery--How much more should we do for the Blessed Sacrament! Pray for our Bishops!
