It’s disrespectful and haphazard, they almost can’t wait to get through Communion. When it comes to purifying the vessels it is done in a very sloppy and tacky way, another rush job to get through it and get the Mass finished. The Irish Clergy seem to have no concept of the new rules regarding the celebration of Mass that came in a good few years ago. Many insist on muttering prayers after Communion like ‘O Sacrament most Holy’ which is no longer encouraged because people should be given a time of silence instead to thank the Lord for being present to them in the Eucharist. There are more tacky things the Clergy are doing, bad habits and sloppy liturgy than to be worried about initials on the Sacred Host. I’m not going to even mention homilies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-86624379668595708442018-05-20T21:23:34.787+01:002018-05-20T21:23:34.787+01:00If the Religious Sister wanted to hand make Sacred...If the Religious Sister wanted to hand make Sacred Hosts for her relatives Wedding then that is her prerogative and nobody else’s business. It’s not up to us what we deem tasteful or not when it comes to the Wedding of another couple. Is it acceptable for children to turn up for First Holy Communion in stretch limos, horse and carriage and in a few cases, a helicopter. What is that saying about the importance of the Eucharist when it’s more about a social occasion. Where do we start dictating what’s appropriate and what isn’t when it comes to the Sacrament f the Eucharist. What have some Priests been doing with their hands before handling the Sacred Hosts in the past and present?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-81264091721861743672018-05-20T21:08:38.620+01:002018-05-20T21:08:38.620+01:00@19.37 Your thoughts are irrelevant and Hypocritic...@19.37 Your thoughts are irrelevant and Hypocritical. During big open air masses with the Pope, Communion is offered to everyone and nobody asks them what religion the are, their sexuality, their marital status. Is that not mockery of the Eucharist. In one foreign trip Muslims where given Holy Communion and no one batted an eyelid.

A complete sacrilege. You excuse your ignorant behaviour by blaming everyone else, the innocent nuns in this case. The only consolation is that it wasn't a TRUE CATHOLIC MASS. How could you, in conscience, mock, ridicule and play fun with the true meaning of the SACRED EUCHARIST? And now you'd want us to believe that you are the Messiah returned! You made a complete mockery of the Eucharist and I'm surprised that any enclosed Order of Nuns who supply Communion Hosts would approve of such mockery. Very easy to find out which Order as there are so few, and I suggest that all parishes cease purchasing hosts from the Order. You are ignorant.
