- John F Kennedy – ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country
- Do not rush It is not a matter of efficiency You only have a moment’s contact Give each person your undivided attention It is your role to make the moment of communion as person-al as possible Don’t speak to the air or the bread or chalice Hold up the bread or chalice Wait for the response: “Amen.” Gently place the bread on the palm or tongue Be firm and do not rush Carefully wipe the rim of the cup, then raise eyes to welcome the next communicant
- These are our brothers and sisters in Christ We need to try to be at ease with others This is both sacrifice and communal meal
- The gathering, word, remembering and thanksgiving all lead to this Comm-UNION All attention should be focussed on the act of moving and singing together, eating together, experiencing our communion in and with the Lord
- Don’t hesitate in coming forward Don’t wait for the priest if he wanders
- Stand back – let priest and servers to their job
- Assistance is needed in the sacristy after Mass – especially for consuming remaining wine
