Obispos de Extremadura: “No puede prohibirse la Comunión en la boca”

Mensaje de los obispos de Extremadura con motivo de la pandemia de la Covid-19:

Hay que evitar restricciones arbitrarias o que se limiten los derechos de los fieles. En concreto, por más que sea preferible la comunión en la mano por razón de la situación, no puede prohibirse la comunión en la boca, como ha ocurrido en algunas ocasiones, a veces incluso cuando el fiel estaba ya a punto de recibirla. Confiamos al buen sentido pastoral de los sacerdotes que procuren fórmulas que permitan vivir con paz y sin tensión un momento como ése, de particular intensidad espiritual.

Church of the Resurrection, Lansing MI, turns ad Orientem

On the First Sunday of Advent 2014, the Church of the Resurrection began celebrating the (Novus Ordo) Mass ad orientem. What that means is that at times during the Mass, especially during the Eucharistic Prayer, the priest and the people face in the same direction, toward the “Liturgical East.” This change followed a period of catechesis and preparation that began two years earlier, when we reflected together on the powerful symbolism of praying toward the East. Inspired by Pope Benedict XVI’s book, The Spirit of the Liturgy, we began using what is often called the “Benedictine Altar Arrangement.” We placed six candles on the altar, with a crucifix in the center, to help remind us by the very manner of our prayer that we are not praying to each other but rather to the Father, through the Son, in the Holy Spirit. The recent change to celebrating ad orientem is helping accomplish this goal even more fully.
