VATICAN CORNER
Blessings at Communion Time
“From the Congregation for Divine Worship (Protocol No. 930/08/L), dated November 22,
2008, and signed by Fr. Anthony Ward, SM, Under-secretary of the Congregation stated the
following:
“this dicastery wishes to limit itself to the following observations”:
1. The liturgical blessing of the Holy Mass is properly given to each and to all at the
conclusion of the Mass, just a few moments subsequent to the distribution of Holy
Communion.
2. Lay people, within the context of Holy Mass, are unable to confer blessings. These
blessings, rather, are the competence of the priest (cf. Ecclesia de Mysterio, Notitiae
34 (15 Aug. ‘97), art. 6, §2; Canon 1169, § 2; and Roman Ritual De Benedictionibus
(1985), n. 18).
3. Furthermore, the laying on of a hand or hands — which has its own sacramental
significance, inappropriate here — by those distributing Holy Communion, in
substitution for its reception, is to be explicitly discouraged.
4. The Apostolic Exhortation Familiaris Consortio n. 84, “forbids any pastor, for
whatever reason or pretext even of a pastoral nature, to perform ceremonies of any
kind for divorced people who remarry”. To be feared is that any form of blessing in
substitution for communion would give the impression that the divorced and
remarried have been returned, in some sense, to the status of Catholics in good
standing.
5. In a similar way, for others who are not to be admitted to Holy Communion in
accord with the norm of law, the Church’s discipline has already made clear that they
should not approach Holy Communion nor receive a blessing. This would include non
-Catholics and those envisaged in can. 915 (i.e., those under the penalty of
excommunication or interdict, and others who obstinately persist in manifest grave
sin)”.
Priests (well, at least me) are often faced with the claim that “these things happen at other
Churches”. Our reply must be that such things should be addressed to the competent
authorities, since no-one "even if he be a priest, may add, remove, or change anything in
the liturgy on his own authority". (SC 22.3).
Doesn't it say somewhere that every priest is responsible for the Sacred Liturgy in his Parish
which he is “bound to watch over so that no abuses creep in” - yes it does, Canon 528
§2.” 1

PRO-LIFE
Judith Bono - (985) 778-1513
Spiritual Adoption Program - Week 37
This week, the size of your baby is about 6.3 pounds
and 19.1 inches length. He is officially full term now
but can still benefit from extra days in the womb. Your
baby continues to practice breathing movements. Your
baby’s grasp is firm now. A few weeks ago, your baby
would move his eyes toward light. Now he turns
towards light outside the uterus.
Please join the Pro-Life Team this coming
Saturday after the 8:00 a.m. Mass for the PRO-LIFE
ROSARY, followed by our monthly breakfast
meeting. Come eat and enjoy fellowship while we
discuss upcoming events in May!

The first Sunday after Easter is the Feast of Mercy, but there must
also be acts of mercy...I demand from you deeds of mercy, which are
to arise out of love for Me. You are to show mercy to your neighbors
always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to
excuse or absolve yourself from it (Diary, 742).
At three o’clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if
only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly
in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of
great mercy. ... In this hour I will refuse nothing to the soul that
makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion (1320).
As often as you hear the clock strike the third hour, immerse yourself completely in My
mercy, adoring and glorifying it; invoke its omnipotence for the whole world, and
particularly for sinners; for at that moment mercy was opened wide for every soul. In this
hour you can obtain everything for yourself and for others for the asking; it was the hour of
grace for the whole world - mercy triumphs over justice (1572).
