I would like to receive kneeling, but can't get up again without the help of a kneeler or rail. Bring them back!

I received holy communion on my tongue, because I want to be fed by Jesus , and it is more reverence. Now do many people don't know what to do with the host ( Jesus in their hand ) God bless thank you for the good work

100% correct. Catholics do not know how important the Eucharist really is. We have had a generation of mislead Catholics because the church left the teaching of the faith in the hands of wrongly equiped people to do so. Please bring back teaching the faith to basics so it is taught and understood perfectly. Not many parishes even offer adoration of the Eucharist not encourage it.

We must allow people to receive communion on the tongue if they wish it, the only reason I don't have it this way is because I converted recently aged 37 so I never had it any other way but the church is being extremely insensitive to disallow it to those who are uncomfortable with having it any other way. What is the church coming to that I even have to sign this in their defence?

Bring back Jesus on the tongue to get the respect he needs.

While I support the move to restore tradition to the Church, especially in areas where Protestantism fracture the communion within the church, I disagree with much of what has been said in support of this. I am prepared to propose an alternate argument to this forum which I believe will attract a far greater number of signatures.

Yes,I'm all for greater respect for JESUS in the Blessed Eucharist. If consecrated host falls on the ground I have no hesitation in swallowing same.

A wonderful initiative, personally since receiving Communion on the tongue whilst kneeling, I have put in practice teaching my body and my exterior actions to be a reflection of what my interior faith should be. I hope this gains traction, I will pray for it.

So many Catholics clearly have no concept of what a treasure the Eucharist is. The way most people currently receive Our Lord lends itself to this kind of thinking.

"Lex orandi lex credendi" Our worship must reflect our faith if our faith is to be strengthened.

Only the Priest has sacred hands worthy of holding the Blessed Sacrament. Extraordinary Ministers should only be used in extraordinary circumstances. Reception of the Blessed Sacrament should be on the tongue while kneeling, showing reverence to the true presence of the Body and Blood of Jesus our Saviour.

A message should come from the pulpit about the necessity of regular confession.
