Can You Say Someone's Name When Distributing Communion?

Question of Faith

16-04-2024 • 17 mins

Delve into the sacred with Mary Hrich, the Diocese of Cleveland's Director for the Office for Worship, as we address the intricacies of the communion rite—is personalizing it with a communicant's name a move towards intimacy or a step away from the ritual's communal roots? As we unravel the layers of this debate, you'll gain a deeper understanding of why "The Body of Christ" is more than just a phrase—it's a universal proclamation that unites us all in faith. Our conversation doesn't stop there; We'll discuss FD's "liturgical facial hair" better known as the "Divine Mercy Mustache."

Our spiritual exploration then shifts to the poignant symbolism of the Good Shepherd, as FD recounts his recent visits to many of the vibrant parishes of our diocese including this week's Church Search, St. Clement Parish in Lakewood.  Dr. Megan Bolin, like Fr. Damian is trying to visit every church in the Diocese  (Her book "Ignite" on Young Adult Ministry is out as well.

The episode reaches a crescendo as we discuss the readings for Good Shepherd Sunday and the upcoming consecration of the Mary, Mother of the Good Shepherd chapel.

Join us for a heartfelt discourse that not only connects liturgy and community but also the enduring presence of the Good Shepherd in our daily lives.
