In 2003, the General Instruction of the Roman Missal introduced changes in the celebration of the Eucharist. One change emphasizes the value of receiving Eucharist under both forms.
"It is especially fitting to receive Christ in both forms during the celebration of the Eucharist. This allows the Eucharist to appear more perfectly as a banquet that is a foretaste of the banquet that will be celebrated with Christ at the end of time when the Kingdom of God is established in its fullness."
–Eucharisticum Mysterium No. 32
•
Talk about the added meaning this can bring to reception of the Eucharist.
•
Have a member of the parish liturgy committee discuss the significance of the change and how it will be carried out in your parish.
•
As a follow-up, work with students to prepare a blurb for the parish bulletin that explains what the change will mean for their parish.
