They stripped off his clothes and threw a scarlet military cloak about him. Weaving a crown out of thorns, they placed it on his head, and a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! -The 3rd Sorrowful Mystery

Bowing before receiving Holy Communion


Bowing before receiving Holy Communion
Question from on 07-13-2007:
Dear Mr. Donovan,

When should the bow take place before receiving Holy Communion? Should it happen before you have approached the minister (ie when one person is receiving before you) or while you are directly in front of the minister?

Thanks!
Answer by Colin B. Donovan, STL on 07-30-2007:
It should be when the person in front of you is receiving, so as not to delay the distribution of Communion or endanger the Eucharist, by accidentally coming up under the ciborium or chalice.
