Wednesday, Wk 2: "You are a priest forever"

“Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil,
to save life rather than to destroy it?”

-- Mk 3:1-6

 

It is in keeping with the very meaning of the Eucharist that the faithful, if they have the required dispositions, receive communion when they participate in the Mass. As the Second Vatican Council says: "That more perfect form of participation in the Mass whereby the faithful, after the priest's communion, receive the Lord's Body from the same sacrifice, is warmly recommended."

-- CCC 1388
