Anyone here recieve on the tongue AND also receive the precious blood?

Not that I am aware of. But that doesn’t mean the practice should be encouraged or made the norm either. The local church has about 22 EMHC on any given Sunday. It is a tragic sight.

Oh, believe me, I agree. I recently attended a parish in a neighboring town, and was quite taken aback by the number of EMHCs. I just want to be careful of making my personal preferences override some instruction of the Church that states otherwise.

Perhaps putting on gloves might just be one of those “useless traditions of men” that went away. I had heard once, through the grapevine, that in older Eastern churches if a man touched the vessels they would send him off to be ordained.

Heh… I like that!

Just a question - do any of you who receive on the tongue also receive the precious blood, when it is offered?

Catholig

When I attend the Novus Ordo, a small number of Catholics are present, and the feast is a high-level feast (e.g., Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, etc.), then I receive the Consecrated Host on the tongue as well as the Consecrated Wine.

Regardless of whether I attend the Novus Ordo or the Tridentine Mass, I receive Holy Communion on the tongue.

My husband and I receive on the tongue. My husband also partakes of the Precious Blood, I do not. I’m not some “reactionary”, but I once had a very shakey “hand off” of the Precious Blood with the EMHC and am now terrified of spilling it (plus I also saw major backwash one time ).

I’d love to receive via intinction.

This may have already been said, but I feel it highly unorthodox that the USCCB has declared communion in the hand the “norm”, when it is only by indult that communion in the hand is allowed in the US in the first place.

Where did the idea that the USCCB declared Communion in the hand to be the norm come from? At least I can’t find it in the current documents.

“The consecrated host may be received either on the tongue or in the hand, at the discretion of each communicant.” (General Instruction of the Roman Missal, Including Adaptations for the Dioceses of the United States of America, no. 160)

“The communicant may choose whether to receive the Body of Christ in the hand or on the tongue.” (Norms for the Distribution and Reception of Holy Communion Under Both Kinds in the Dioceses of the United States of America, no. 41)

I wonder if some posters were confusing the “standing vs. kneeling” issue with the “tongue vs. hand” issue.
