I've been asked about how I'd prefer the people receive Holy Communion. The short answer is kneeling, at the rail, on the tongue. This, I suspect, like other things I've noticed, while it will require instructing the faithful, will also be easier than we're all given to believe.
We'll come back to the fear factor in a moment, let it suffice to recall my mom's encouragement regarding leadership. They want to follow you; they will do it for you. That'll work for now. Even though I want them to do it for Jesus, if they're doing it for me and I'm instructing them well, they'll soon be doing it for Jesus, with greater love than I could imagine and quicker than I think they will.
It will be a win for our parish.
I've got to unfold it.
Also, in case you're wondering if yesterday I wrote any thank you notes—even a single one—the answer is yes.
And lastly, if you're also wondering whether the time indicated below corresponds to the time I closed my laptop, got up out of my seat and left to open the Church (or hop in the shower—if it's a Saturday) the answer is yes.
