It pained me also today to have to go back to received Jesus in my hands this morning, but also at the same time, I do not want to end up being responsible for spreading any sickness around.
**It pained me also today to have to go back to received Jesus in my hands this morning, **
I prayed about this aand following markomalley’s lead this morning, I went to the other side of the church, crossed my hands over my chest and said to the priest, “You know why.” He blessed me and then talked to me after Mass.
I told him I could not receive the Holy Lord in my hands and chose to obey the Archbishop and him and not ask for special treatment.” (Which he said he would have given it to me on my tongue.) I replied that I did not want to set a bad example and would just have a Communion of Desire.
Then, after the blessing, I went back to my pew, prayed and cried. In fact, I have tears in my eys right now. I LNOW I had a Communion of Desire. It was so moving for me.
