Why we rearly recieve the blood ( wine) during Mass but only the flesh (bread)?
Neocathehumens recieve different bread and drink wine from big cup,but we No.

Not sure where your location is, but it could determine whether and when you receive the precious blood in addition to the body of Christ.

That being said, it doesn’t matter. You only need to receive the blood or body to have received the Eucharist in its fullest.

And as far as the “big cup” (assuming you mean the Chalice), this is neither a spiritual or sacramental concern, but it does appear it is troubling for you from an aspect of humility.

No one is favored at the banquet!

Hoping you find peace.
 
No,i dont care for the big cup I am just saying they receive the blood every time,but we rearly almost only the bread.
 
I dont envy them just wondering…one day i asked a friend and He was not able to answer.
I have read that that practice started because of large amount of people and some desease in the past,but now…also i know this practice troubles Orthodox people,too about the Catholics.
So we confess,but recieve the bread only?
Isnt that somehow inappropriate?
Just asking-no envy,no judgment…only curious?

I think the fact that there are a large number of people who go to Communion is at least part of the reason. It is easier to give the Host.

Catholic Herald By Fr. William P. Saunders
“The practice, however, gradually changed to avoid “some dangers and scandals,” according to the Council of Constance (1415). These reasons ranged from the spillage of the Precious Blood in its distribution, to health concerns from sharing the same cup, to inebriation, and to absconding with the sacred vessels.”

Straight Answers: Why Is the Precious Blood Not Distributed at Every Mass? - Arlington Catholic Herald

Why is the Precious Blood almost never distributed at Mass? By not distributing the Precious Blood, the priest would seem to be disregarding the command that our Lord gave us when He initiated the Eucharist at the Last Supper: "Take and eat: this is my Body. Then He took the cup, gave thanks...

The Orthodox and some Eastern Catholics receive both kinds, the bread is in the chalice with the wine. They receive small, wine soaked morsels of the bread via a spoon, which is then dropped into their mouths.

In my Eastern Catholic church, the host is intincted, dipped into the chalice of wine by the priest and the deacon and received in the tongue.
 
You do know that you receive the fullness of Christ, His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity when you receive just the consecrated host or just the consecrated wine, right? Both species are not required to be in full communion.
 
As others have said, you do not need to receive in two forms. Just receiving the bread gives you the fullness of the sacrament.

I would guess this is some rule or custom local to your area, because in the USA, most churches offer both the body (bread) and blood (wine) at least at Sunday Mass. For weekday Masses, a lot of churches will just offer the bread host.

A couple of the issues with offering the blood (wine) are the concern about communicable diseases being spread by sharing a cup, and also being able to consecrate the right amount of wine for the number of attendees. The priest has to consume whatever wine is left over and obviously he cannot be finishing the contents of a large number of chalices, nor is it good to have too little so that some people get to receive in both forms and some do not. So if the Mass is very big and crowded, usually they will just offer the host.
 
Yes, but He only had 12 people to plan for. And as others have said, it’s not necessary to offer both - you receive Jesus exactly the same even if you only receive Him in one form.
 
Wasnt the blood that cleanse us…sorry just asking not in mind to upset you
 
As the other people have posted, you are getting the whole Jesus, body and blood, when you receive one form.

If you don’t believe me, look up some of the stories about bleeding Host miracles.
 
Are you in a Roman Catholic Church or one of the Easter CHurches? THat info would be helpful.
 
I have never taken Eucharist in Eastern Church

Then I’m not sure how you don’t receive the Host at Mass.

???
 
The wine does not always have to be received.
For Ex: Ireland, only the priest and EMHC receive the wine They distribute under one species only except for at Weddings where the bride and groom also both receive from the chalice.
Each element is Christ’s Body and Blood. Completely.
 
The wine does not…I thought Jesus taught that to use his blood,too…
 
When our parish “runs out” of consecrated hosts, people properly receive just the wine. Do you not recall when the priest drops a tiny particle of the Body into the Blood?
It’s complete.

From the USCCB website:
Does one receive the whole Christ if one receives Holy Communion under a single form?
Yes. Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior, is wholly present under the appearance either of bread or of wine in the Eucharist. Furthermore, Christ is wholly present in any fragment of the consecrated Host or in any drop of the Precious Blood. Nevertheless, it is especially fitting to receive Christ in both forms during the celebration of the Eucharist. This allows the Eucharist to appear more perfectly as a banquet, a banquet that is a foretaste of the banquet that will be celebrated with Christ at the end of time when the Kingdom of God is established in its fullness (cf. Eucharisticum Mysterium, no. 32).
