I have noticed an increase in sacraligeous acts towards the Blessed Sacrament recently. In the past year we have caught 2 people trying to leave the Church with the Blessed Sacrament without consuming it, I dont know if I just did not notice before or if this goes on more than we know. One was a woman who tryed to put it in her pocket and walked out of the Church, thankfully our Priest stopped distributing communion immediatly and ran after her. He scolded her then made her consume our Lord immediatly.
Several months later I had to run after one guy who while running out the door was wiping the Host all over the Church. When I confronted him he squared off with me and wanted to fight I did not but just told him how disrespectful that was towards our Lord. The Priest then came and thanked me for catching him and gave me a blessing.
I would say be vigilant and since we all do not recieve our Lord on the tongue we can only do our part in protecting against sacralige.
Has this happened in your parish?
