This is really the only sensible manner of receiving Communion, if one actually considers what he’s doing. If I am not worthy for the Lord to enter under my roof, then surely I must approach Him in fear and trembling to receive Him as reverently and humbly as I am able.

Agreed. The Eastern Catholic Churches distribute communion by intinction, thus eliminatng communion in the hand. Also, there are no EMHCs in the Eastern Churches; communion is distributed by the priest or a deacon or, of course, the bishop. It is distributed standing, an equal sign of reverence.
