“It is generally assumed that the Eucharistic species of bread remains for about 15 minutes after reception.”

"There is a famous story from the life of Saint Philip Neri… One day while he was celebrating Mass, a man received Holy Communion and left the church early, so Philip Neri sent two altar boys with lighted candles to follow the man After a while walking through the streets of Rome, the man turned around to see the altar boys still following him. Saint Philip Neri told the confused man ‘We have to pay proper respect to Our Lord, Whom you are carrying away with you. Since you neglect to adore Him, I sent two acolytes to take your place.’”
