Once the Host has been consecrated by the priest, it becomes the Body of Christ. After consecration, the Eucharist is administered by either the priest, the deacon, or trained Eucharistic Ministers.
the priest, deacon or a Eucharist minister ( who has undergone a training session to prepare them for what they will need to do)
No No No, Who's on first.
The priest.
Priests can also administer communion. However, from the dawn of Christianity, through the time when the Christians were persecuted & forced into hiding, until the formation of a formal church, all that were baptized had the right to administer communion. It's only through the organization of religion that the right of communion was limited to the official clergy. The intent, in early Christianity, was to have no formal church.
Communion or the Lord's Supper is a sacrament of the church and each church has its own guidelines for who can administer the Lord's Supper.At my baptist church any ordained lay or clergy can give the communion.
Both sacraments require a Priest to administer them. You receive Penance before Holy Communion. The primary requirement is your Baptism.
The Catholic Church would not administer Communion to Jesus. This is not due to the fact that he was "Jewish" (all Christians for the first two centuries after Jesus's death were considered Jewish), but because Jesus is the Bread of Life. The Host contains His Spirit. The purpose of Communion is also to administer God's grace. Jesus Christ, being one person in the Triune God, would not need to receive His own graces.
A lay Catholic who is in good standing with the Church and has been trained and approved by his pastor can be appointed as an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist.
A priest is a member of the clergy of the Catholic Church. A priest can administer most of the sacraments, say mass and transform bread into His Body and wine into His Most Precious Blood.
Catholics do not take communion, they receive communion.
Christ Jesus invites to his Table all those who love him, repent of sin, and seek to live as Christian disciples. This could be a member of a church or not. This could be an adult or a child. The United Methodist has an Open Table, which means that they do not limit who can participate in the receiving of bread and cup. All who respond in faith to the invitation are to be welcomed.
The nurse will administer the sedative.I need to administer all of this paperwork by Friday.The vet decided to administer a painkiller to the kitten.
That is a redundancy. If you are a Catholic you are in communion with Rome. If you are not in communion with Rome, you are not a Catholic.
Catholic AnswerNo, the Prayer after Holy Communion is in the Missal. The Communion "reflection" is something that the priest is making up.
I believe they practice closed communion.
