Ok, back from Mass, here’s my report:

Nothing announced at the beginning of Mass about it. Prior to the Liturgy of the Eucharist priest announced that due to the current situation we were requested from handholding during the Our Father, exchanging handshakes during the SOP and there would be no chalice until further notice. Communion on the tounge still permitted in our Church. That one would be hard to stop where we are, as we have a High Mass at 10;30 and Latin Mass at 12:30. During the week we are permitted to receive on the knees at the altar. No noticable difference in number receiving on the tounge that I could see, and as I posted before Mass, the priest would have to deny me communion b/c I would NEVER take the host in my hand (personal conviction here).

I hope someone posts the 10 liturgical abuses thingy again, as I am going to print and bring to my priest the next time I see it. We don’t do any as a practice, and I want to point that out to him that we appreciate it, but I do notice they don’t discourage hand holding during the Our Father, and let him know that this is considered a liturgical abuse. I just don’t think he is aware of it, as he corrects rubrics whenever he sees one, in my experience.

Do they hold hands at the High Holy Mass?
Just wondering.
