4 Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside Mass June 21, 1973 Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ General Introduction I. The Relationship Between Eucharistic Worship Outside Mass the Eucharistic Celebration (1 4) 1. The celebration of the eucharist is the center of the entire Christian life, both for the Church universal and for the local congregations of the Church. 4. In order to direct and to encourage devotion to the sacrament of the eucharist correctly, the eucharistic mystery must be considered in all its fullness, both in the celebration of Mass and in the worship of the sacrament which is reserved after Mass to extend the grace of the sacrifice. II. The Purpose of Eucharistic Reservation (5 8) 5. The primary and original reason for reservation of the eucharist outside Mass is the administration of viaticum. The secondary reasons are the giving of communion and the adoration of our Lord Jesus Christ who is present in the sacrament. The reservation of the sacrament for the sick led to the praiseworthy practice of adoring this heavenly food in the churches. This cult of adoration rests upon an authentic and solid basis, especially because faith in the real presence of the Lord leads naturally to external, public expression of that faith. III. The Place of Eucharistic Reservation (9 11) 9. The place for the reservation of the eucharist should be truly preeminent. This will be achieved more easily if the chapel is separate from the body of the church. IV. The Competence of Episcopal Conferences (12) Chapter 1: Holy Communion Outside Mass Introduction I. The Relationship Between Communion Outside Mass and the Sacrifice (13 16) 13. Sacrament communion received during Mass is the more perfect participation in the eucharistic celebration. The eucharistic sign is expressed more clearly when the faithful receive the body of the Lord from the same sacrifice after the communion of the priest. Therefore, recently baked bread, for the communion of the faithful, should ordinarily be consecrated in every eucharistic celebration. II. The Time of Communion Outside Mass (16) 16. On Holy Saturday communion may be given only as viaticum. III. The Minister of Communion (17) 17. Priest, deacon, acolyte. The local Ordinary may give other special ministers the faculty to give communion whenever it seems necessary for the pastoral benefit of the faithful and a priest, deacon, or acolyte is not available. IV. The Place of Communion Outside Mass (18) V. Regulations for Giving Communion (19 22) 19. Covered altar, communion plate, candles 20. The eucharist for communion outside a church is to be carried in a pyx or other covered vessel. 22. The water used for cleansing the vessels may be drunk or poured out in a suitable place. 1
5 VI. Dispositions for Communion (23 25) 23. The eucharist is the source of every grace and of the forgiveness of sins. On this account the Church prescribes that no one conscious of mortal sin, even though he [sic] seems to be contrite, may go to the holy eucharist without previous sacramental confession. In urgent necessity and if no confessor is available, he [sic] should simply make an act of perfect contrition with the intention of confessing individually, at the proper time, the mortal sins which he [sic] cannot confess at present. Besides this, the faithful should look upon the eucharist as an antidote which frees them from daily faults and keeps them from mortal sins; 24. Reduction in fasting (15 minutes): 1) for this sick who are living in hospitals or at home, even if they are not confined to bed; 2) the faithful advance age, even if not bedridden 3) sick priests, even if not bedridden, or elderly priests 4) persons who care for the sick or aged, and the family of the sick or aged Rite of Distributing Holy Communion Outside Mass with the Celebration of the Word (26 53) Introductory Rites Greeting Penitential Rite Celebrations of the Word of God or The Short Form of the Reading of the Word Holy Communion The Lord s Prayer Sign of Peace Reception of Holy Communion Concluding Prayer Concluding Rite Chapter II: Administration of Communion and Viaticum to the Sick By an Extraordinary Minister (54 63) 1.

It is desirable that the sick person renew his [sic] baptismal profession of faith before he receives viaticum. Prayer for the Sick Person Viaticum The Lord s Prayer Reception of Holy Communion Concluding Rite Chapter III: Forms of Worship of the Holy Eucharist (79 81) 81. Prayer before Christ the Lord sacramentally present extends the union with Christ which the faithful have reached in communion. It renews the covenant which in turn moves them to maintain in their lives what they have received by faith and by sacraments. They should try to lead their whole lives with the strength derived from the heavenly food, as they share in the death and resurrection of the Lord. Everyone should be concerned with good deeds and with pleasing God so that he or she may imbue the world with the Christian spirit and be a witness of Christ in the midst of human society. 1. Exposition of the Holy Eucharist Introduction I. Relationship Between Exposition & Mass (82 83) 83. During the exposition of the blessed sacrament, the celebration of Mass is prohibited in the body of the Church. If exposition of the blessed sacrament is extended for an entire day or over several days, it is to b interrupted during the celebration of Mass. Mass may be celebrated in a chapel distinct from the area of exposition if at least some members of the faithful remain in adoration. II. Regulations for Exposition (84 85) 84. A single genuflection 85. For exposition of the blessed sacrament in the monstrance, four to six candles are lighted, as at Mass, and incense is used. Lengthy Exposition (86 88) 88. If a period of uninterrupted exposition is not possible, because of too few worshipers, the blessed sacrament may be replaced in the tabernacle during periods which have been scheduled and announced beforehand. This reposition may not take place more often than twice during the day, for example about noon and at night. Brief Period of Exposition (89) Adoration in Religious Communities (90) III. The Minister of Exposition (91 92) 3
7 Rite of Eucharistic Exposition & Benediction Exposition (93 94) 93. Assemble, song, ciborium or monstrance should be placed upon the table of the altar. If exposition with the monstrance is to extend over a long period, a throne in an elevated position may be used, but this should not be too lofty or distant. 94. Host should be consecrated in the Mass which immediately precedes the exposition and after communion should be placed in the monstrance upon the altar. The Mass ends with the prayer after communion, and the concluding rites are omitted. Before the priest leaves, he may place the blessed sacrament on the throne and incense it. Adoration (95 96) 95. During the exposition there should be prayers, songs, and readings to direct the attention of the faithful to the worship of Christ the Lord. To encourage a prayerful spirit, there should be readings from scripture with a homily or brief exhortations to develop a better understanding of the eucharistic mystery. It is also desirable for the people to respond of God by singing and to spend some periods of time in religious silence. 96. Liturgy of the Hours Benediction (97-100) Hymn, Prayer, Benediction, Reposition, Song/Acclamation (See the Order of Exposition published by Liturgical Press on behalf of the USCCB Committee on the Liturgy) 2. Eucharistic Processions ( ) 101.
