RECEPTION OF HOLY COMMUNION
When you come up to receive Communion and the Host is held up and the Priest or Minister of Communion says, “The Body of Christ”, PLEASE DO NOT SAY, okay, ummh, thank you or anything similar. The response is, “AMEN’ which means this is true, or I agree or I believe. You are agreeing, as you say this AMEN, in your belief that you are receiving the Body of Christ, that this is your savior who was tortured and died for your sins. Make it a joyous and resounding AMEN for this great gift from God who loves you so much that He sent His son to die and give you your salvation.
