The Proper Way to Receive Holy Communion
Only those practicing Catholics who are in the state of grace may receive Holy Communion.
If one is receiving the Sacred Host on the tongue:
When receiving communion on the tongue, please do not lean towards the minister. Please stand up as straight as possible. After saying “Amen” in response to the minister of the Holy Communion, the communicant should open the mouth wide and fully extend the tongue far enough so that the Sacred host can be placed upon it for safety precautions and without danger of it falling. Please note that it is important to extend the tongue, not just open the mouth. Once you have received communion, make the sign of the cross, and return to your seat for silent prayer.
If one is receiving the Sacred Host in the hand:
Upon approaching the minister of the Sacred Host, fully extend the hands so the minister can reach them. If the left hand is extended, place the right hand under the left for support; if the right hand is extended, place the left hand under the right for support. In essence, a throne is formed in the sign of an X-cross to receive the Sacred Host. Step aside and place the Host in your mouth to consume it; make the sign of the cross, and return to your seat for silent prayer.
