An Accident on the Altar with a Consecrated Host
By Connecticut Catholic Corner
I have a question today about an accident I witnessed during a televised Catholic Mass.
This morning I found myself up at the crack of dawn. Unable to fall back to sleep I decided to start my day by tuning in to our local Catholic Mass on television.
Today, Father Joseph Devine of St. Rose of Lima parish in Meriden, Ct was celebrating the Mass on ORTV (Office of Radio and Television).
A recording of the Mass can be seen HERE.
Since each television Mass is sold on DVD it is not available to download or upload to this blog, so going directly to the link is the only option to view the entire 30 minute Mass.
The reason I am mentioning this is because of what happened during this morning's Mass. The priest accidentally dropped the consecrated Host into the Cup,
then fished the soggy Consecrated Host out of the Cup...
...placing the soggy Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ on the paten.
He then breaks off a piece, placing it in the Cup, and soon eats PART of the soggy Host leaving several soggy pieces of the Host on the paten.
He then places a small soggy piece of the Consecrated Host into the hands of a gentlemen... (so the Blood of Christ is now on the hands of this gentleman)
and then LEAVES the rest of the soggy Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ on the paten, covering it with linen and removing it from the altar.
You can see the soggy Host in the image below being covered up.
Should he have not eaten the entire soggy Consecrated Host?
Should he have wiped the Blood from his wet fingers on the cloth?
Is there another way this is handled when something like this occurs?
I was truly expecting him to eat the entire Host quickly before it could fall apart.
I'd love to hear from a priest how such an accident is properly handled.
In Christ,
Julie @ Connecticut Catholic Corner

Connecticut Catholic Events
The Order of Malta of CT has
organized an annual observance for this Marian feast and ecclesial recognition
and exhortation to assist the sick. It is an exceptional experience prayer,
healing, and friendship. I have been present
for this Mass several times. Our baptismal call invites us to love
and care for sick
persons.
The witness of the Order of Malta calls us to care
for the sick reminding us of the gospel mandate (a corporal work of mercy).
Please come and pray for our ill brothers and sisters, and if possible,
assist an ill person to come to Mass and to receive the sacrament of Anointing
of the Sick.
There are two other opportunities to pray for the
sick:
Saturday, February 8, 3pm Mass, St Aloysius
Church, Cherry Street, New Canaan
Sunday, February 9, 3pm Mass, Blessed
Sacrament Church, 275 Union Avenue, Bridgeport.
The other day I mentioned a New Haven observance of
the World Day of Sick with Mass & the sacrament of the Sick, St Mary's
Church, New Haven, Saturday, February, 15, 12Noon. This Mass is
organized by the Third Order Dominicans. Recall that Saint Catherine of Siena is
a patroness of sick persons.
You may be interested to read and pray with the text
of Pope Francis’ message for the 22nd World Day of Prayer for the
Sick:
