left over wine after communnion

[YADA]

The poster was not referring to dumping the Precious Blood in the sewer, the poster was referring to “wine”, which the OP was referring to. Reread the post and you’ll pick up.

The "wine"once consecrated in the Mass becomes the Blood of Christ … it no longer remains wine … even after the Mass [though that is the belief of some of our seperated brethren with their Communion] has ended … it still is the Eucharist - …

Sewer?? Never … Never - not ever … that is our Lord and Savior you are speaking of!!!

As another poster noted - the sacred Vessels are rinsed af any remaining fragments [Body and/or Blood of Christ] into a Sacrarium … a special sink that is NOT part f the sewer system but deposits in the sacred earth beneath the Church - hallowed ground … but even the Sacraium should not be used for the Precious Bllod not consumed at Mass … that Precious Blood should be consumed …

That a poster would not know of this - and yet speak to practices in their parish that they seem to be a part of - speaks volumns for better catechesis …

Reread the post. He was making the point that you can do what you want with wine, you cannot do that with the Precious Blood. It was his way of telling the OP that after consecration it’s not longer wine.

Huh and huh? Anything blessed or transfigured does not go into the sewer. It goes into the sacrarium which allows it to soak into the earth below the Church. I am pretty sure the PB does not get saved once it has been ‘used’.

Not so. It is a grave offense to pour the Precious Blood down a sacrarium. The sacrarium is only use for pouring the diluted Sacred Species in need be. Any remaining Precious Blood should be consumed by the priest or another minister of Communion
See [Redemptionis Sacramentum](http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/c...0423_redemptionis-sacramentum_en.html#Chapter IV):

[107.] In accordance with what is laid down by the canons, “one who throws away the consecrated species or takes them away or keeps them for a sacrilegious purpose, incurs a latae sententiae excommunication reserved to the Apostolic See; a cleric, moreover, may be punished by another penalty, not excluding dismissal from the clerical state”.[194] To be regarded as pertaining to this case is any action that is voluntarily and gravely disrespectful of the sacred species. Anyone, therefore, who acts contrary to these norms, for example casting the sacred species into the sacrarium or in an unworthy place or on the ground, incurs the penalties laid down.****195] Furthermore all will remember that once the distribution of Holy Communion during the celebration of Mass has been completed, the prescriptions of the Roman Missal are to be observed, and in particular, whatever may remain of the Blood of Christ must be entirely and immediately consumed by the Priest or by another minister, according to the norms, while the consecrated hosts that are left are to be consumed by the Priest at the altar or carried to the place for the reservation of the Eucharist.[196]

When water is added to the sacred vessels, the remaining drops are diluted and are no longer the sacred species, therefore it is OK for the priest or deacon to pour from one vessel to another.

Yes it is – unless it was far more diluted. An instituted acolyte can also purify the vessels.

No way. Those “remaining fragments” are consumed during the purification of the vessels.

Wow, we do it all the time when purifying the vessels with a little water added in. I have even seen them do it on EWTN. Odd.

They are not pouring the Precious Blood from one vessel to another. They consume all the Precious Blood by drinking the last drop from the chalice as far as possible. Then they add water to the chalice to remove the thin film of PB which remains on the inner surface of the chalice. This water may then be poured into another chalice before drinking it. This water, although it must be treated with reverence, is not the Precious Blood because it no longer has the appearances of wine.

After the priest drinks the remaining Precious Blood and the altar server pours water into the chalice, it is “far more diluted.”

:bigyikes: :tsktsk: :nope: NEVER!!!

Stop your offensive comments! Far too many people go off half-cocked on these forums and make some truly ignorant judgements. You see what you WANT to see not what is written so you can judge others. Stop it.

You need to understand the different between the Blessed Sacrament and wine!! Read my comments again!

Any additional Precious Blood however must be consumed of course unless it’s specifically reposed as planned in the tabernacle (in a suitable, sealed vessel) until the end of Mass for use for communion to the sick.

Also note that except for a grave reason (such as inability of a sick person to consume even a tiny portion of a Communion Host), Communion taken to the sick should be in the form of the Host only, not the Precious Blood.

Duh. That’s axiomatic. The Blessed Sacrament would not be reserved under the second species if there wasn’t a “grave” need.

That would depend entirely on how much water was poured into the sacred vessel and just how much Precious Blood was left in the chalice after the last drink.
