NEWS FROM ROME Cardinal Sarah: Widespread Communion in the hand is part of Satan’s attack on the Eucharist The head of the Vatican department overseeing liturgy is summoning the Catholic faithful to return to receiving Holy Communion on the tongue and kneeling. In the preface to a new book on the subject by Don Federico Bortoli ti- tled: ‘The distribution of Communion on the hand: a historical, juridical and pastoral survey’ [La distribuzione della comunione sulla mano. Pro- fili storici, giuridici e pastorali], Cardinal Robert Sarah, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship, writes: “The most insidious diabolical attack consists in trying to extinguish faith in the Eucharist, by sowing errors and fostering an unsuitable way of receiving it. Truly the war between Michael and his Angels on one side, and Lucifer on the other, continues in the hearts of the faithful.” “Satan’s target is the Sacrifice of the Mass and the Real Presence of Jesus in the consecrated Host,” he said. Recalling the centenary of the Fatima apparitions, Sarah writes that the Angel of Peace who appeared to the three shepherd children in advance of the Blessed Virgin’s visit “shows us how we should receive the Body and the Blood of Jesus Christ.” His Eminence then identifies the outrages by which Jesus is offended today in the Holy Eucharist, including “so-called ‘intercommunion.’” Sarah goes on to consider how faith in the Real Presence “can influence the way we receive Communion, and vice versa,” and he proposes Pope St. John Paul II and St. Mother Teresa as two modern saints whom God has given us to imitate in their reverence and reception of the Holy Eucharist. John Paul II wrote on at least three different occasions that touching the consecrated Sacred Host is a “privilege of the ordained” and Mother Tere- sa refrained from touching the transubstantiated Body of Christ. She was saddened and pained when she saw Christians receiving Holy Communion in their hands. In addition, all of her sisters received Communion only on the tongue. Is this not the exhortation that God himself addresses to us: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it”? (Ps 81:10). “Why do we insist on receiving Communion standing and on the hand?,” the Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship asks. The manner in which the Holy Eucharist is distributed and received, he writes, “is an im- portant question on which the Church today must reflect.” Why this attitude of lack of submission to the signs of God? Let us come as children and humbly receive the Body of Christ on our knees and on our tongue. The saints give us the example. They are the models to be imi- tated that God offers us!
