Why this petition matters

Started by Renit Alex

Requesting to do the needful to stop the practice of giving Holy Communion in hands of communicants instead of the tongue. The body of our Lord is being insulted in many ways because of us!

To

His Holiness, Pop Francis
Apostolic Palace,
00120, Vatican City.

Holy Father, 

We all believe that Eucharist is the "source and summit of the Church". Nowadays many incidents have been reported about people stealing the Holy Communion and taking it outside the church after receiving it in their hands. Such cases are getting alarmingly increased. We can say that unnoticed cases are even more.

If satanic worshippers get the Eucharist without any hassle to desecrate it through Black Mass rituals, that's mainly because the Communion is offered in hands and not on the tongue. 

Secondly, the majority of people who receive the Communion in hands, return to their Seats without checking if any fragment or crumbs of the Host are left in their hands or fallen down. As a result, many particles of the Eucharist fall to the floor in a way that cannot be recovered. After the distribution of Holy Communion, priest consumes the granules left,  by transferring that to a chalice but it's heartbreaking to think that many fragments of the Sacred Host might have been fallen down in the church. Recently my wife who had been kneeling close, had received a piece of Eucharist which was fallen down after a heedless person had bit the Host and left hastily. 

As we all know, Eucharist is the bread of life and we should receive Lord Jesus with profound reverence and devotion. Isn't that God's will..?

St. Augustine had said, " no one eats of the flesh without first adoring it that we would sin if we did not first adore it”. When we were receiving Holy Communion on our tongue after genuflecting, there was a sense of sacredness of the sacrament. But nowadays when we receive Jesus in our hands, many have a casual approach which may leave us speechless.

So kindly request you to consider these things and take a proper decision according to the will of God.

Praise the Lord...  Ave Maria....
