17. Awe of the Eucharist
“the highest of angels don’t dare touch the
consecrated Body of Christ” –St. John Chrysotom
“Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding in its
hand a live coal which it had taken from the altar
with a pair of tongs. With this it touched my
mouth and said: 'Look, this has touched your lips,
your guilt has been removed and your sin
forgiven.” Isaiah 6:6-7
only in persona christi do the priests dare to touch
and distribute the Eucharist- 3 requirements:
consecrated, ordained and veiled hands
18. Don’t Try to Add to or
Improve on the Mass
• “This is the Word of the Lord”
• “This is the Body of Christ”
the Mass should change you (not vice versa)
EME, not EM
19. Leave that to the Pros…
• "Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter
under my roof."
• “I believe in one God…”
• “For You and for many that sins may be
forgiven…”
• "The Lord be with you/And with your spirit."
