So does this mean that Eucharist in the Hand will be prohibited?!?

Praise the Lord!

Now let’s get rid of the “cups”.

I hope this will be enforced:

Kneeling for communion and communion on the tongue: "Profound meaning," says Cañizares

Now let’s get rid of the “cups”.

I'm with ya. When communion under both species was forced on us it necessitated an army of "extraordinary" ministers of communion to assist.

Now the norm in parishes is for the faithful to wait while a score of EMOCs swarm the sanctuary and are given communion and then the vessels.

Not to mention waiting for the (sole) priest to purify a dozen chalices after the communion rite.

I'm all for back to communion under one species (as is done now at my home parish.)

[Salvation]

It’s going that way. Our priest said that in a couple years everyone would be receiving the Holy Eucharist on the tongue.

THE BISHOP'S RING: IT'S THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL

His Excellency permitted me to take one final photograph - of his bishop's ring. I wish the details were clearer, but it is unmistakeably the Miraculous Medal. He humbly permitted people to kiss his ring, which caught me off guard because I have seen some bishops gently pull their hand back. Because of this, I never attempted to kiss the ring of a bishop.

Some feel it is more humble to not let people kiss the ring, but I think the opposite is true. I did not see it prideful on his part at all, but more of an act of humility. He generously offered blessings upon people as they took his hand. One of the sisters observed that by having the Miraculous Medal as a ring, the people are kissing an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as well as the ring of an apostolic successor.
