As a Eucharistic minister in my parish, I would feel more comfortable about this role if all intending recipients had a clear understanding of the requirements for the reception of Holy Communion.

Before changing anything I think it is important for priests to educate (maybe during homilies) and thus prepare the people for change.

teach the faithful to receive communion in the mouth not in the hand as it is more reverent.

Pope John-Paul has said the Holy Communion is the focal point of our Faith.

I truly believe that when we restore true reverence & respect in the Liturgy especially in the reception of Holy Communion than and only than will we see Mass attendance increase & increase in priestly vocations.

I am deeply hurt by the changes in the liturgy and I want my right to receive Holy Communion kneeling and on the tongue to be respected.

I truly believe that vocations to the priesthood will come when people truly believe in the true presence of Our Blessed Lord's body, blood, soul & divinity in Holy Communion and be taught to give Him due reverence & respect as this teaching has been neglected for years from the pulpit.

On the tongue is the most reverent way to receive Jesus.

I would like to receive communion on the tongue, but I receive it as reverently as I can in the hand.

I feel a much greater sense of the supernatural when receiving on the tongue & preferably kneeling

Too many priests don't give adequate instruction to their people on how to show proper reverence to the Blessed Sacrament.

The possibility that something untoward can happen to communion in the hand is enough to demand that it be given on-the-tongue

We have gone off the rails so far, now our closest friends and family call us radical - Reverence preserves life and shelters love -God Bless
