When you speak of "Eucharistic Service" don't you mean a "Holy Communion Service"? <BR/><BR/>My understanding was that few parishes are now holding such Holy Communion Services. At least, they shouldn't be if they are following Redemptionis Sacramentum (2004): "..the diocesan Bishop...must not easily grant permission for such celebrations [without a priest at which Holy Communion is distributed] to be held on weekdays, especially in places where it was possible or would be possible to have the celebration of Mass on the preceding or the following Sunday" (n. 166). I hear that even in Plymouth Diocese where used to take all the time, Bishop Christopher Budd has issued a directive prohibiting them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073884685835992548.post-37960449630761820082007-07-02T20:14:00.000+00:002007-07-02T20:14:00.000+00:00Gosh; you leave me quite speechless. :)Once I was ...Gosh; you leave me quite speechless. :)<BR/><BR/>Once I was received into the Church, I went to Benediction - I had been before, but it did not seem the same - at that time I could not take my eyes of the monstrance, so I know what you mean.<BR/><BR/>Re your other post, I will, I will!
