Bad Tasting Eucharist

[Monica02]

This week at daily mass the Euacharist was contaminated with some sort or horrible smelly and disgusting tasting lotion. The priest must have had it on his hands.

I will not go up for Communion if this priest ever does the mass again. YUK!


This was a first for me - has anyone else ever encountered something like this?

SINNNER !!

SIIIINNNNNNEEEERRRR !

ABOMINATION !

How can the body of Christ taste bad ?

Oh the horror of the thought.


(sorry, I just when six rounds with a bunch of people on the merits of wine at communion. It got a little weird)

YUM...

Maybe the priest has some sort of dry skin condition and you should call him and ask he not use it before Mass again.

Telling him the taste was on the Host might help him to be considerate.

Maybe he didnt realise it.

I think the poor guy would be awfully embarrassed if I spoke to him about it. He did have several surgical bandages on his hands so maybe it was some sort of medical lotion. He is retired and was just filling in so maybe we will not see him too often.

I wouldn't refrain from receiving because of this- its kind of likle refraining from going to Mass because the music sucks or the preaching is bad.

I don't see why the bad taste would keep you from receiving Communion...if so, you must not truly realize how much of a gift it is to us.

Look how much Jesus suffered for us--- I think a little bit of not so nice tasting Eucharist wouldn't hurt us at all. I would mention to your normal priest about the situation. It's not something to be embarrassed about, but if you didn't know what was on his hands and you ended up being allergic and/or poisoned by the substance then there would be a huge issue. So for health reasons it would be good to mention it

The priest is supposed to wash his hands in the sanctuary with the alter boys helping before consecrating the Eucharist.

When I lived in another state, we all used to take turns baking the Eucharistic bread.

The recipe was similar to this:

I know it wouldn't be practical for large churches, but it was really wonderful, and a wonderful ministry to be able to bake the Eucharistic bread.

My daughter, who made her Communion there, was really upset when we moved and she had to partake of the little round wafers that she thought tasted like cardboard.

Gulp

That isn't the recipe for eucharistic bread, is it?

I thought it was supposed to be for the Roman Rite

Water
Wheat

And for the Eastern Rite

Water
Wheat
Yeast
Salt

NOTHING ELSE of the matter was invalid. Are the two recipes I have given above the correct ones?

And geocajun, This is an honest question.
