The Mistreatment of the Eucharist (Pic Credit: Joshua Davis from Facebook via ChurchPOP)

The Hard Truth About Mistreatment of the Eucharist in Our Parishes

. . .The Catholic Church teaches that Jesus is really, truly, & substantially present in the Eucharist (both the bread & the wine).  Which means that if even a small part of a host falls to the ground during communion, that small bit is Jesus himself on the floor, maybe being walked on. . .
