Eucharistic Practice

I think, in contrast to my mum, dad is more of an agnostic; he's open to the possibility of God, and he's intellectually lively and interested in different people's ideas about God, but there's no real personal conviction or commitment from him.

Honestly, I think both my parents are probably just so relieved that (unlike my brother), I have no addiction issues, I have a happy marriage, and I'm able to raise my own child, that they're pretty happy to see me doing whatever, because apparently I have my life together enough to be functioning and stable. So I did this weird retro thing and went into the church? Well, hey, at least it's not drugs!

Awesome! Happy to hear you and your family are doing well!

The direction I was given is that intinction is preferable to receiving in one kind. But receiving in one kind is better than individual cups.

Recovering alcoholics are the only ones who will intince in our parish. Regarding the much maligned "jiggers or shot glasses" they are a pain. Like the Chalice, they need to be properly purified and make a load of extra work for our Altar Guild.

They have proven useful...

As Sacristan, when we are having an issue recruiting guild members, all we have to do is threaten their abolishment and people reluctantly appear to serve. LOL

At my Cousin's Parish (he is a confessional Lutheran Pastor), they did the same thing, and no one came forward. They quit using them, and a few months later, out they went.

At our Mid Week Masses in the summer, we do not use the individual cups, nor dow we at other mid week celebrations. Some complain, none have quit coming.

Not to go off topic, but as a concessional Lutheran, you use the term “Mass?”

Interesting

It's used in the Book of Concord.
