Why communion rails matter

[maryjk]

Question: I go to both NO and TLM but I feel like at TLM, I do one thing while at NO, I receive in my hand. To be honest, without the patten and being a tall person, I fear that trying to receive on the tongue while standing puts me in danger of the Blessed Host falling on the ground. Any thoughts? Should I stoop down to receive on the tongue?

You could always kneel at the OF (ordinary form), just like you do at the EF (Extraordinary Form.)

Or simply bend your knees slightly.
