RS 93 recommends the use of the Communion Plate. It is illicit for a communicant to take the Sacred Host by himself and still less permissible for him to hand it to another.
Holy Communion, within the celebration of Mass, can be received a second time by a communicant who has already participated in Holy Communion earlier in the same day.
The Communion of Priests (RS 97-99):
RS 97 & 98, describes the Communion of priests. It refers to the indication of the Missal for the moment when the priest and any concelebrant is to communicate. It reiterates that the procedures for Holy Communion are to be observed according to the norms prescribed in the Liturgical books.
Both Kinds (RS 100-107):
Trent defined the dogma of concomitance, that is, the teaching that the whole Christ is entirely present even in the smallest fragment or droplet of the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of the Lord. Catechesis on this matter must precede and continually accompany the administration of Holy Communion under both kinds which may be given according to the prescriptions of the liturgical books.
Holy Communion under both kinds is to be completely excluded where there exists even a small danger of profanation. The US Norms for Both Kinds received the Recognitio in 2001.
RS 102: With difficulty of gauging the amount of wine needed for celebrations with large numbers of the faithful Both Kinds should not be given.
