Rector of SS. Simon and Jude Cathedral in Phoenix, Arizona Promotes Communion on the Tongue...

"Communion in the hand has not been, and will not be accepted by Heaven. This is a sacrilege in the eyes of the Eternal Father, and must not be continued, for you only add to your punishment when you continue on in the ways that have been found to be unpleasing to the Eternal Father." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 30, 1984

A Letter from Our Cathedral Rector

Dear Parishioners,

During my last year in the seminary, I deliberately stopped receiving Holy Communion in the hand and began receiving on the tongue. It was awkward at first and I was particularly anxious about dropping the Host, since I no longer had the control of receiving in the hand.

Awareness of this lack of control actually offers an additional spiritual benefit. In my previous letter I used the term “vulnerability” to describe receiving on the tongue. Some of you told me that this term was particularly helpful. At the 11 00 am Mass last Sunday I used an ancient symbol for Christ (which happened to be on the vestment I was wearing) to illustrate this vulnerability a symbol rooted in a pre-Christian legend:

“[I]n the time of famine, the mother pelican wounded herself, striking her breast with the beak to feed her young with her blood to prevent starvation. Another version of the legend was that the mother fed her dying young with her blood to revive them from death, but in turn lost her own life. Given this tradition, one can easily see why the early Christians adapted it to symbolize our Lord, Jesus Christ."

Receiving Holy Communion on the tongue emphasizes our complete dependence on the Lord’s initiative to nourish our souls—an important distinction between “being fed” vs. feeding ourselves. Yet, the natural anxiety that accompanies trying something new may still be there.

Here are a few tips for receiving Holy Communion on the tongue intended to ease anxiety while reducing the risk of the Host falling to the ground.

When you hear the words “The Body of Christ” respond “Amen”...before receiving. We can be so focused on receiving in a new way that they forget to say “Amen” or say it while receiving or afterwards.

Open your mouth and extend your tongue. This will make it easier for the minister to place the host firmly on your tongue.

I suggest closing your eyes while receiving. Thus reduces the all-too-common temptation to lunge forward toward the minister, which increases the chances of dropping the Host. Lunging also increases the possibility of contact between the minister’s fingers and the communicant’s tongue.

Pause a moment before pulling the host |into your mouth with your tongue. Retracting your tongue too quickly makes your tongue a moving target. I suggest a short “one-thousand-one” count before retracting your tongue. Take your time!!

No biting! Receive on your tongue, not with your teeth.

Keep your hands folded in prayer. It confuses the minister when a communicant simultaneously extends their tongue and holds their hands |n a way that looks like they intend to receive in the hand

One man in our parish, after receiving on the tongue for a week (dally Mass and Sunday Mass), told me that his sense of reverence and gratitude for the Eucharist has already increased! I appreciate that feedback, and also want to thank everyone else who has already accepted the invitation to receive Holy Communion on the tongue. It was noticeable last Sunday during Communion.

God’s Blessings… my prayers

Very Rev Fr John Lankeit

"You must not take the Body of My Son in your hand! You open the door for the entrance of evil spirits to defile My Son's Body! The consecrated fingers of a duly ordained man of God, the priest, shall place My Son into your mouth, and you must absorb His Body with goodness and love." - Our Lady of the Roses, March 22, 1975

Our Lady of the Roses awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/../Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

REAL PRESENCE
"You violate your sacred trust. You have taken the Body of your Creator, the Son of your God in the Trinity, and violated Him. You must do your eating at home! When you come to the great Sacrifice, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, you come in reverence. You must go down upon your knees and do penance now for the offenses to your God! ...
"As in the past, cannot you recognize the mystery of Heaven and earth? Did not the staff of Moses turn into a serpent in the will of God? Did not the river in Egypt turn into blood in the will of God? And cannot God, in His will, come to you changing the bread and wine into the actual Presence, the real Presence, the factual Presence of His Body and Blood?" - St. Michael, February 1, 1977

GOODNESS AND LOVE
"You must not take the Body of My Son in your hand! You open the door for the entrance of evil spirits to defile My Son's Body! The consecrated fingers of a duly ordained man of God, the priest, shall place My Son into your mouth, and you must absorb His Body with goodness and love." - Our Lady, March 22, 1975

SACRILEGE
"My Son is not pleased with the manner in which His Body and Blood is being given to all of the humans upon earth.
"Communion in the hand has not been, and will not be accepted by Heaven. This is a sacrilege in the eyes of the Eternal Father, and must not be continued, for you only add to your punishment when you continue on in the ways that have been found to be unpleasing to the Eternal Father." - Our Lady, June 30, 1984

MAN OF GOD
"A priest is a man of God, chosen solely from the world to be a representative of the Son of God.... As a man of God, he brings to you the Body and Blood of your Savior.
"I tell you, my brothers and sister, that none shall take in his or her hands the purified Body of your Savior! Only the consecrated fingers and hands of the representative of Christ the Lord shall give and bring this gift to mankind! - St. Theresa, October 2, 1975

THE LAST SUPPER
Veronica - I see a very large mural in the sky now. It's dark all about it. And I know it's a plaque; it's like a plaque up here in the sky, and it shows the twelve apostles during the Last Supper. I see great sadness in their faces because of the violation of the Host now. - September 7, 1977

SINISTER PLAN
"I ask you, My children--you ask Me many times in your prayers, shall you accept My Son's Body in your hands? I say no! And no again for reason!
"You cannot judge all those about you, My children, who have accepted this diabolical practice under the guise of leadership. No, My children, this was brought about to desecrate My Son, to take from Him the truth of His divine nature. No one who hears My voice must accept My Son's Body and Blood in the hands! The chalice shall turn, and you shall be bathed in His Blood!
"It was, My children, a sinister plan from the depths of hell to remove the knowledge of the divinity of My Son from among you." - Our Lady, February 10, 1978

DELUDED
"Again and again I wander to and fro directing My children to remain close to the Eucharist, the Bread of life. But do not become misguided: Do not accept My Son's Body in your hands.
"Satan, Lucifer, came as an angel of light and set his agents among the hierarchy of My Son's Church and deluded them. All manner of abominations are being committed upon My Son's Body now." - Our Lady, July 15, 1978

BLASPHEMY
"Many are giving My Body in a manner that can only be called blasphemy. Many are accepting My Body in the Eucharist in a manner that defames the Divinity, and also promotes unholiness, paganism, and impurity of heart and actions during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass." - Jesus, May 26, 1979

DESECRATION
"My child, you ask why I cry? I shed tears of great anguish. I watch anew the desecration to My Son's Body being committed upon earth. None shall place their hands upon His Body!
"My Son has given you in trust those He has chosen among mankind to represent Him-your priests. None others shall carry My Son to mankind! You shall not defile His Body by giving Him into the hands of women, or those that have not been prepared by the Father as legally-ordained priests in the houses of God-laziness, preoccupied with the world and the pleasures of the flesh!" - Our Lady, November 1, 1974

    Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers promises to help protect our children. On September 13, 1977, She said, "He has an army of ogres wandering now throughout your country and all of the countries of the world. They are in possession of great power; so wear your sacramentals, and protect your children and your households. Learn the use every day of holy water throughout your household. Insist even with obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will repel the demons."
    On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the knowledge that you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard your children's souls. They must be surrounded with an aura of purity. Remove them if necessary from the sources of contamination, be it your schools or even false pastors."

Your names have been written in Heaven… "It is not by accident that you are called by My Mother, for your names have been written in Heaven....

A great obligation to go forward... "It is not by accident that you are called by My Mother, for it is by merit and the prayers that have risen to Heaven for your salvation.
