The debate on “communion in the hand” continues. Now it seems that the Holy Father, B16 is taking to giving communion with people kneeling and on the tongue in order to highlight the meaning of the Eucharist. I’m not sure how that follows.

The Eucharistic Congress was truly a profound experience for me. It was so grounded in good Eucharistic theology, profound witnesses, solemn and beautiful pontifical masses, creative liturgical experiences and a thirst for justice and peace. Wow, what an experience.
I am very grateful to the organizers in Québec who did such a great job. The people [...]

Friday was quite the day. As usual we had the various talks including one by Cardinal Toppo of India who challenged us not to honour Christ in the church only to neglect him outside. This was followed by the rather entertaining witness by Mr. Jose Prado of the San Andres School of Evangelization. He uses [...]

This morning we celebrated the Divine Liturgy of the Byzantine Rite. It was an amazing experience. The music in various languages, including Arabic was quite moving. The vestments and ritual was stunning. I had the privilege of being a minister of communion. When I received the ciborium with the consecrated bread I was greeted by [...]
