Receiving Holy Communion

Fight the fight!

Receive Holy Communion reverently on your tongue and, if possible, kneeling.  Never accept Holy Communion in your hand. No priest in the world has the right to deny communion on the tongue.

Avoid receiving Holy Communion from "extraordinary ministers" except, possibly, in extraordinary times - which seldom occur. The example you set will encourage more and more people to reject this unfortunate Indult.

If you agree that communion-in-the-hand is a grave error, please tell the world!
Forward the www.communion-on-the-tongue.org link to everyone you know.
Post it everywhere you can think of.

Consider ordering these non-profit bookmarks...

Distribute them everywhere – at church, at meetings, to friends, relatives and neighbors. As people log on, a few – a number known only to God Himself – will abandon the practice of communion-in-the-hand.
