Commencing this weekend, Catholics in Australia are asked to make a change in the way we celebrate Mass. This change relates to a Gesture. The Communion Procession is a most important ritual act in the celebration of Mass.
It is the time when those disposed to receiving Holy Communion come to receive the Body of Christ. We are individuals, yet we constitute something more in this procession. General Instruction of the Roman Missal says: “When approaching to receive Holy Communion, the faithful bow in reverence of the Mystery that they are to receive.” (GIRM160). The Communicant might bow just before receiving Holy Communion or perhaps while the person in front of them is receiving Holy Communion. Above all the Communion Procession should be reverent, ordered and never rushed. |
