There have been some questions about the proper way to receive Eucharist (both the Body and Blood of Christ) during Communion. Below is a short summary: “The communicant bows his/her head before the Sacrament as a gesture of reverence and receives the Body of the Lord from the minister. The consecrated host may be received either on the tongue or in the hand, at the discretion of each communicant. When Holy Communion is received under both kinds, the sign of reverence is also made before receiving the Precious Blood.” (Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum, March 25, 2004, no. 91) “When Communion is given under the species of bread, the Priest raises the host slightly and shows it to each, saying, ‘The Body of Christ.’ The communicant replies, ‘Amen,’ and receives the Sacrament either on the tongue or in the hand. As soon as the communicant receives the host, he/she consumes the whole of it.” (Para 160-161 GIRM) “Holy Communion is to be received standing, unless an individual member of the faithful wishes to receive Communion while kneeling.” (Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum, March 25, 2004, no. 91). After consuming the Host, approach the Eucharistic Minister standing off to the side with the chalice. He/she will offer the Chalice to whomever wishes to partake. (If you choose not to receive, return to your seat after consuming the Host.) The minister raises the Chalice slightly and says, ‘The Blood of Christ.’ The communicant replies, ‘Amen,’ and receives the Sacrament by taking a small sip. The consecrated Wine is not poured into the communicant's mouth by the minister. Nor is it permissible for the communicant to intinct (dip) the Host into the Chalice. After sipping from the Chalice, the communicant should promptly return the chalice to the Eucharistic Minister. Cómo recibir la Eucaristía (tanto el Cuerpo como la Sangre de Cristo)Ha habido preguntas sobre la forma correcta de recibir la Eucaristía durante la Comunión. A continuación, se ofrece un breve resumen:
«La Sagrada Comunión debe recibirse de pie, a menos que un fiel desee recibirla de rodillas». (Congregación para el Culto Divino y la Disciplina de los Sacramentos, Instrucción Redemptionis Sacramentum, 25 de marzo 2004, n.º 91)
Después de consumir la Hostia, acérquese al ministro eucarístico que se encuentra de pie a un lado con el cáliz. Él o ella ofrecerá el cáliz a quien desee participar. (Si decide no recibirlo, regrese a su asiento después de consumir la Hostia). El ministro levanta ligeramente el cáliz y dice: «La Sangre de Cristo». El comulgante responde: «Amén», y recibe el Sacramento tomando un pequeño sorbo. El ministro no echa el vino consagrado en la boca del comulgante. Tampoco está permitido que el comulgante moje la hostia en el cáliz. Después de beber del cáliz, el comulgante debe devolverlo inmediatamente al ministro eucarístico. Comments are closed.
