Sigh. Her education may be excellent in other respects, but her formation as a Catholic is gravely deficient. She is not a "eucharistic minister". Only a priest is a minister of the eucharist. Your daughter is an "Extraordinary" (wink, wink) minister of Holy Communion. Her function has nothing whatever to do with the eucharistic, sacrificial core of the Mass, only with the functionary aspect of distributing the Blessed Sacrament. And you'll forgive my saying so, but she shouldn't be. She is being used by those who should know better, to disobey direct instructions from the Vatican about the rare occasions (never routine) when EMHCs are permissible. She is being used by "meal people" who assert the Blessed Sacrament is more about us and our fellowship than about the true, substantial presence of Christ. She is being used by those who certainly know better, to blur the unique priestly character, representing the Personhood of Christ as Divine Bridegroom and therefore inescapably Male. I don't mean to insult your daughter or give offense, but sacramentally speaking your daughter has been coaxed into transexualism.
The "school play" mentality of post Vatican II liturgy in which everyone is supposed to be made to feel important by being given little jobs to do lest anyone's feelings be hurt -- this has been one of the MOST damaging and destructive effects of the post Council rupture with tradition.
Good way of putting it!
Man, I've been a techie WAY too long - I initially read that verb as co-axed and tried to figure out what a cable had to do with the Body of Christ.
Converting from Southern Baptist, transubstantiation was a high hurdle for me, in that, when Jesus said "This IS My Body" at the Last Supper, it was THEN (cause He said so), but why is it now? After reading the Gospels (my RCIA class was utterly inadequate) I realized that either the Apostles are the only ones in heaven (because only those who eat Christ's Body have life within them - again, HE SAID SO) or it is possible somehow today to eat Christ's Body.
Don’t worry. No offense taken. You might be interested in the fact that one mile from my parish on L.I. is a tarditional (as in Fr. Depauw) Ave Maria traditional Tridentine Chapel.
