THINKING OF OTHERS
A VERY SERIOUS APPEAL
For….A QUIETER, CALMER, MORE PRAYERFUL CHURCH.
New books have been acquired for the use of the Children who attend Mass. I ask
parents to look out for these in the Church Porch when coming to Sunday Mass.
These can be useful and informative as well as ‘aids’ to prayer life for the ‘little children’.
Fr. Benny

HOLY SOULS
During the month of November we remember especially our departed brothers and sisters.
RECEIVING HOLY COMMUNION
At all times when we receive the Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist we try to show the greatest respect. The dipping of the host into the consecrated wine is called “INTINCTION”. The current
edition of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM) states: “The blood of the Lord may be
received either by drinking from the chalice directly or by intinction” so the practice is permitted.
What is not permitted is for the lay faithful to self-communicate by dipping the host that they will
consume into the precious blood. This can be done only by a minister of the Eucharist– i.e. Priest or
Deacon. From the GIRM (287) -If Communion from the chalice is carried out by intinction, each
communicant, holding a communion-plate under the mouth, approaches the Priest who holds a vessel with the sacred particles, with a minister standing at his side and holding the chalice. The Priest
takes a host, intincts it partly in the chalice and, showing it, says, ‘The Body and Blood of Christ’. The
communicant receives the Sacrament in the mouth from the Priest, and then withdraws.
Concerns have been raised by a number of our Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion that a
growing number of people are ‘dipping’ the Host in the Chalice and, because the hosts do not absorb
the Precious Blood, drops are in danger of going on the floor and being walked over. If anybody
wishes to discuss the question of ‘Intinction’ I will be happy to meet with them.
Fr. Benny
If anybody is so inclined you can read the whole of GIRM on the Web!

**************
CHRIST THE KING
Promoting priestly vocations: The Shepherd-King comes in service to raise-up the lowly and grant them a
place in glory with him. Those who are courageous enough to consider a vocation to the priesthood are always deeply aware of their unworthiness. Good! It shows that they know their need of Jesus …. Pray today
that the Lord will call many from this diocese to serve him as priests: feeding us with Christ’s Body and
Blood, and forgiving our sins in his name.
