In as much as the priest-celebrant may use just a small drop of wine at the preparation, one assumes that you are taking about the problem caused by administering Communion in both species to large numbers. To persist in that recovering is what St John (John 1:16) calls “grace upon grace ”. Everyone is recovering from something by God’s grace. There are two newly elected Congresswomen with vulgar vocatives and intemperate glottal fricatives, who obviously are ignorant of this. Cato the Elder used it (eg delenda) to rally the Senators. The word itself is a gerund, or verbal noun. What should I do?Ĭongratulations on your recovering. I’m a priest and a recovering alcoholic, and I dread the day I have to drink a large amount of Christ’s Sacred Blood left over after a Mass.
