When the hour came, he took his place at table with the apostles. He said to them, I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer, for, I tell you, I shall not eat it (again) until there is fulfillment in the kingdom of God. Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said, Take this and share it among yourselves; for I tell you (that) from this time on I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes. Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me. And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you. -The 5th Luminous Mystery

Question from on 06-09-2007:

At Sunday Mass the chldren of the parish bring up the gifts and then
the priest allows them all to stay behind him during the consecration
and until the Mass is over, is this permitted or is it an abuse? I
spoke to other people about this and they said that the priests in
their parishes also do that. Thank you


Answer by Rev. Mark J. Gantley, JCL on 06-19-2007:

Just because a lot of parishes do something does not mean that it is right.

This is not permitted and is an abuse.

The priest might be doing this out of good intentions, but good intentions are not a sufficient
reason to adopt illicit practices.
