Today at Mass, I approached to received the most precious blood and at first was pleased to see that the deacon was holding a gold chalice rather than the glass wine goblets they usually use, but then I was taken aback when I lifted the cup to my lips and saw a piece or the host disolving in the cup.

Does any one know the story behind this—is this awful or am I over reacting?

The priest breaks off a portion of a host and puts it in (one of) the cup(s). That’s part of Mass.

No Abuse.

The priest breaks off a small piece of the Body and drops in into the Blood in his chalice.

You just happened to be receiving from the priest’s chalice (which is fine).

If you would have consumed it by accident that is fine as well. The priest finishes what is left in his chalice (if anything) after communion is given out.
 
Were you receiving from the priest’s chalice? If so, the priest does place a small piece of the consecrated host in the chalice at the fraction rite.

If you received from another chalice, I don’t think that a piece of consecrate host should be in it. Others more knowledgable than me can answer that part of the question.
 
Unless you have celiac disease in which case even a trace of wheat might make you seriously ill - so if you receive the precious blood only because of this, be sure you do not receive from the priest’s chalice.
 
What may have been a little off-kilter is that the vessels holding the Precious Blood are to be unbreakable. Glass wine goblets are not to be used. Otherwise, everything else is okay.
 
It was the priests chalice and I was fully aware of the fraction rite…just never received from his chalice before. Now that I can think of it in that way, I think that it is awsome.

Thanks for the clarification.

As for the rest, they not only use a glass goblet, but the wine is concecrated in a glass decanter and then the precious blood is POURED into the goblet(s). :eek: I know this is terribly wrong, and I am working up the courage to approach it…They think I am always looking for something to complain about, so I try to go easy. I have been praying about that one though.

The good news is that we won the battle on kneeling and we won the battle on the “bread baking ministry” where for 3 or 4 weeks the priest consecrated “bread” that was baked in a parishioners home.

As long as the miracle still happens at the consecration, and as long as we still have a parish, this will be my home. Jesus is present in the Blessed Sacrament, and He needs some one who can remind people of that once in while. 🙂

So, what am I missing here?
What is wrong with bread being baked for communion in a parishioners home as long as the recipe is correct?

Has this been forbidden?
 
"we won the battle on the “bread baking ministry” where for 3 or 4 weeks the priest consecrated “bread” that was baked in a parishioners home. "

As long as the recipe is correct it is quite correct to use bread baked at a parishioner’s home but care would need to be taken re crumbs etc, which is possibly why it is better to use commercially prepared hosts.

Redemptionis Sacramentum (available on the Internet) will tell you what constitutes a liturgical abuse and what to do about it. 🙂
 
The reasons for using “commercially” baked hosts is not even what you might think. These “plastic” type hosts are baked by a group of nuns, I am told, and this is how they make their money.

A priest commented to me that since almost every parish uses these hosts, they must be doing ok.

Can anyone give information that would either confirm or deny this?
 
In reply to the nuns baking the hosts, IMHO, I think that is awesome! Who better to bake the bread used than a group of nuns? I don’t care if they make millions doing so, I still think it would be the most reverant place to do it.

Keep it up “Baker Sisters”!!! 🙂

“So, what am I missing here?”

Basic catechesis, that’s all!
