This may sound like an odd question, especially since I am a Latin Rite Catholic! But I’ve never seen intinction done in any Latin-Rite Church before.

In the Byzantine Catholic Church we visited they used a silver spoon covered in icons to bring the blood-soaked Eucharist out of a silver chalice and then carefully “dropped” it into the comminicants mouth.

Is this how local churches of the Latin Rite have communion by intinction?

Just Curious

Communicant approaches communion rail or the individual distributing Holy Communion. They perform a sign of reverence, assume the position (stand or kneel) and stick their tongues out.

The individual distributing Holy Communion dips a consecrated host in the Precious Blood and places it on the communicants’ tongue. The individual distributing Holy Communion either holds a ciborium with consecrated hosts while another person next to him holds a chalice with the Precious Blood or he uses a special ciborium with an integral cup to hold the Precious blood for dunking.

Someone should also hold a paten or a folded purificator under the communicant’s chin.

The special ciborium sometimes looks like a standard one with a “divider” down the middle. Other times it’s larger with a small cup on the inside of it surrounded by the hosts.

The Hosts are arranged in the intinction set, with the Precious Blood in the small chalice.

The priest will take a Host, dip it into the chalice and hold it there for a moment to allow any drops to fall back into the chalice.

The priest will then place the Intincted Host on the tounge of the recpient.

An altar boy will hold a gold plate under the chin of the recpient.
