Archbishop Charles Thompson has announced that parishes may return to the custom of offering the Eucharistic chalice to all the faithful once more, starting on the First Sunday of Advent, that is, the weekend of November 26-27, 2022. This is being done in coordination with all five dioceses of Indiana. We can rejoice in this decision! As the Roman Missal says: "The sacrament of Holy Communion achieves the fullest form of the sign when it takes place under both species." (General Introduction to the Missal no. 281) In his letter, Archbishop Charles points out that the recent pandemic forced us to implement many restrictions to the liturgy: limited music, shortened processions, no holy water, no passing the basket at collection time, no sign of peace, no chalice for the congregation, etc. All of these things were useful and even necessary at a certain time and place, but they were extraordinary restrictions, they were not the norm. And they should not be normalized. The return to communion under both kinds remains the norm and in a few weeks we will take one more important step towards a postpandemic normal. Praise be to God!

Find more information at: https://www.eucharisticcongress.org/ Eucharistic Prayer Companion for the Lenten Season & Sacred Triduum The National Eucharistic Revival has created a series of Eucharistic Meditations to be used on Lenten Sundays and the Triduum. These Eucharistic Meditations are designed to help you spend 30 minutes to an hour in meditation and silent prayer with Jesus during Eucharistic adoration. Even if you cannot be physically present in a church or adoration chapel with the Blessed Sacrament, you can unite yourself spiritually to the Eucharist as you spend this time in prayer. This series of meditations is available in English and Spanish. http://www.eucharisticrevival.org/ Scroll down to “Eucharistic Prayer Companions for Lent.”
