@john333... hi John. don't mean to be negative but Communion in the Hand was the original practice in the Church for the first 800 years, so it cannot be wrong. also your excellent comment ..."(follow your conscience)" stems from a horrible mistake in the Catechism. CCC 1800 says everyone MUST follow their conscience which is demonic. Thanks for your post.
Great apostasy, tabernacle off to the side, Priest turns his back ,communion on the hand standing ,folk music ,Birth control allowed ( follow your conscience) No mortal sin,(unworthy guilty of the body and blood).Novus odor clown show

[St. Augustine of Hippo – IV-V Century AD; Thagaste, Roman Empire/Hippo, Western Roman Empire – Church Father – Doctor of the Church – Blessed; Resting Place – Pavia, Italy] “Chapter II 4. "Blessed are the meek, for they shall by inheritance possess the earth:" that earth, I suppose, of which it is said in the Psalm, "Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living." For it signifies a certain firmness and stability of the perpetual inheritance, where the soul, by means of a good disposition, rests, as it were, in its own place, just as the body rests on the earth, and is nourished from it with its own food, as the body from the earth. This is the very rest and life of the saints. Then, the meek are those who yield to acts of wickedness, and do not resist evil, but overcome evil with good. Let those, then, who are not meek quarrel and fight for earthly and temporal things; but "blessed are the meek, for they shall by inheritance possess the earth," from which they cannot be …More
"8. "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." How foolish, therefore, are those who seek God with these outward eyes, since He is seen with the heart! As it is written elsewhere, "And in singleness of heart seek Him." For that is a pure heart which is a single heart: and just as this light cannot be seen, except with pure eyes; so neither is God seen, unless that is pure by which He can be seen."

"For the true pattern of the soul is God, with whom it must be imprinted, like wax with a seal, and carry the mark of his impress. But this can never be complete until the intellect is perfectly illuminated, according to its capacity, with the knowledge of God, who is perfect truth, until the will is perfectly focused on the love of the perfect good, and until the memory is fully absorbed in turning to and enjoying eternal happiness, and in gladly and contentedly resting in it."
[St. Albert the Great – Albertus Magnus – XIII Century AD; Duchy of Bavaria/Cologne, Holy Roman Empire – Doctor of the Church] “Chapter 3 - What the perfection of man consists of in this life Now the more the mind is concerned about thinking and dealing with what is merely lower and human, the more it is separated from the experience in the intimacy of devotion of what is higher and heavenly, while the more fervently the memory, desire and intellect is withdrawn from what is below to what is above, the more perfect will be our prayer, and the purer our contemplation, since the two directions of our interest cannot both be perfect at the same time, being as different as light and darkness. He who cleaves to God is indeed translated into the light, while he who clings to the world is in the dark. So the supreme perfection of man in this life is to be so united to God that all his soul with all its faculties and powers are so gathered into the Lord God that he becomes one spirit with him …More

"Now the image of God as found in the soul consists of these three faculties, namely reason, memory and will, and so long as they are not completely stamped with God, the soul is not yet deiform in accordance with the initial creation of the soul."
"They have not the guilt of sin ; and it is this latter which constitutes the malignant will of the damned, who are excluded from sharing in the goodness of God, and therefore remain in that hopeless malignity of will by which they oppose the will of God.”"
[Catherine of Genoa ~ XV-XVI Century; Genoa, Republic of Genoa] “Chapter III - SEPARATION FROM GOD IS THE GREATEST PUNISHMENT OF PURGATORY WHEREIN PURGATORY DIFFERS FROM HELL ALL the pains of purgatory take their rise from sin, original or actual. God created the soul perfectly pure and free from every spot of sin, with a certain instinctive tendency to find its blessedness in Him. From this tendency it is drawn away by original sin, and still more by the addition of actual sin ; and the farther off it gets, the more wicked it becomes, because it is less in conformity with God. Things are good only so far as they participate in God. To irrational creatures God communicates Himself, without fail, as He wills, and as He has determined ; to the rational soul more or less, according as He finds it purified from the impediment of sin ; so that, when a soul is approaching to that state of first purity and innocence which it had when created, the instinctive desire of seeking happiness in God …More

TREATISE ON THE MOST HOLY TRINITY (QQ[27]-43) THE PROCESSION OF THE DIVINE PERSONS (FIVE ARTICLES) Having considered what belongs to the unity of the divine essence, it remains to treat of what belongs to the Trinity of the persons in God. And because the divine Persons are distinguished from each other according to the relations of origin, the order of the doctrine leads us to consider firstly, the question of origin or procession; secondly, the relations of origin; thirdly, the persons. Concerning procession there are five points of inquiry: (1) Whether there is procession in God? (2) Whether any procession in God can be called generation? (3) Whether there can be any other procession in God besides generation. (4) Whether that other procession can be called generation? (5) Whether there are more than two processions in God? 1-Whether there is procession in God? Objection 1: It would seem that there cannot be any procession in God. For procession signifies outward movement. But in God …More
