Dear Friends
Yesterday
(the feast of the Body and Blood of Christ)
at the monthly prayer meeting to pray for sick people,
I asked a few of the early arrivals if their parish had Communion from the
chalice.
I was surprised and saddened to hear that several more parishes no longer
have
Communion from the chalice (which, in HK, means by intinction, not by drinking
from the chalice).
I now know of at least five HK parishes that have stopped having Communion from
the chalice
I
was thinking: an old rule was - "a parish should follow the
cathedral".
Communion under both kinds is at every Mass in the cathedral (...they do give a
good example...),
therefore in theory every parish should have Communion under both kinds.
Then
I thought: the cathedral should follow the Vatican
....but...groan....the Vatican for two years or more (at least at the pope's
Masses)
has banned Communion under both kinds (see yesterday's
blog)
c.f. excellent article on today's menu: The Body and Blood of Christ
What
a confusing situation.
What a sad situation.
The poor people....
Jesus, please clean up this mess!

Today's
English editorial in the Ming Pao newspaper (HK),
"Li Wangyang's mysterious death must be looked into" (June 11)
and my recording of same,
can
be accessed here from midday HK time June 11 to mid-evening HK time
June 11
On this
11th of the month,
Jesus please bless
the people of Hunan
(Please join me in praying for one
part of China each day of the month)
My Bible Plan for today =
Readings for feast of
St Barnabas, who was noted for the way
he could give encouragement to people....even difficult people like St Paul!
Thank you for a prayer
God bless!
