WASHINGTON (CNS)—The U.S. Catholic bishops are preparing to vote next week on a revised version of “This Holy and Living Sacrifice,” a directory on the reception of Communion under both kinds in the U.S. Church. The bishops are to meet in Atlanta June 14-16. The revised directory they are to vote on encourages Catholics to receive Communion under both forms, bread and wine. It quotes the Vatican’s new General Instruction of the Roman Missal: “Holy Communion has a more complete form as a sign when it is received under both kinds.” The original “This Holy and Living Sacrifice” was issued in 1984 in conjunc- tion with a Vatican indult—or exception to general Church law—allowing U.S. bishops to make broader use of the prac- tice of Communion under both kinds in their diocese. A revision of the directory was occa- Priests of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis lay hands on the archdiocese’s two new priests, Robert Hausladen (left) and Charles Ryan McCarthy (right). sioned by the new general instruction, which expanded the possibilities of dis- tributing Communion under both kinds— basically putting into general Church law what had already been U.S. practice since Answering Christ’s call to serve 1984. The new instruction says a bishop can Archbishop Buechlein The two men began their journey as God for all the prayers that led to his allow Communion under both kinds new priests June 2 at SS.

YOU’VE ALWAYS HAD A HEART FOR OTHERS. Now it’s time to look out for yours.

You can’t be a caregiver without taking care of yourself. Especially when it comes to heart disease, the leading cause of death for women in America today. In fact, heart disease causes 1 of 2 deaths in women each year, surpassing the impact of breast cancer, which claims 1 in every 27. Perhaps it’s because not enough women know the impact of their risk factors, like diabetes, smoking, cholesterol, weight, blood pressure and ethnicity. As a result, too many cases go undiagnosed. So what’s a woman to do? For starters, take some time for yourself and call the Indiana Heart Institute at St.Vincent. You’ll learn that as women approach menopause, their risk of heart disease rises and keeps rising with age. And that after menopause, it’s women—not men—who die more frequently from heart attacks. To ask any question about your heart’s health, call the Indiana Heart Institute at 317-338-CARE (2273). When you call, ask for a copy of our latest free heart attack video, Heartline 2001. It’s a call for your life.
