While that sounds well and good it sometimes dashes my focus, I wonder, are they going to say my name or not say my name. Do I smile, wink, dance the jig or what?<BR/>Will it be "Eric, the body of Christ?" or "The body of Christ, Eric" or better yet, the "receive the body of Chist Eric"<BR/>I wonder, should I share with our pastor and deacons the VatII documents concerning the who, what, and how for, of extraordinary ministers of communion? again.<BR/>EricAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15377053.post-34248003257109397762008-04-03T11:16:00.000-07:002008-04-03T11:16:00.000-07:00Thanks for the correction Frival.

We have been given the Sacraments and the signs in the Mass for a reason, and without properly understanding the typology and symbolism behind each we change them at great peril to ourselves and others.<BR/><BR/>I should mention, BTW, that I'm pretty sure your description of type and antitype are reversed. The type is the foreshadowing or "pointing to" of the antitype. Thus we say, e.g., Adam was a type of Christ and the manna in the desert was a type of the Eucharist. I could be wrong, but that's my recollection and some brief back-checking confirms it. So far, anyway.<BR/><BR/>On the original topic, however, we did have a couple who did the whole "hand the chalice to the husband" thing a while ago at our parish. After a brief consultation between our Pastor and Deacon they were informed that it needed to stop. As far as I know they didn't give any hassle about it and did as they were asked, like they should have. Sometimes people change things because it sounds or looks like a good idea, not realizing that "there be dragons".frivalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16673516548120384012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15377053.post-58838984367162008992008-04-02T22:24:00.000-07:002008-04-02T22:24:00.000-07:00Not to mention the wife (or husband) cannot give c...Not to mention the wife (or husband) cannot give communion to each other unless they are actually appointed a EMHC.
