The Roman Catholic Code of Canon Law provides
for the Auxiliary Minister of Holy Communion (Sections 230.3 &
910.2). This Catholic ministry of service to the Christian community
demands that one be willing to strive more earnestly than ever to
live according to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. By living
faith and generous service to others, the minister deepens devotion
to the Eucharist which beautifully signifies the unity of the church
and brings it about. In this sharing of the Eucharist with brothers
and sisters in Christ, the Minister is the servant of the Church
assembled. The theology of the Eucharist states that we who share
this one bread become one body is Christ Jesus.
If you are considering service as a Minister of
Holy Communion or Minister of the Sick, please contact your local
parish Pastor.
PRAYER OF EXTRAORDINARY
MINISTERS OF COMMUNION
Heavenly Father, I thank You for calling
me to serve You and Your people in this community as an extraordinary
minister of the Eucharist. You know that I could never be worthy
of such an exalted honor. Help me to be less unworthy by remaining
free from sin.
Let me nourish Your people with the
witness of my life as I feed them with the Body of Christ. Grant
Your strength and holiness to all Your extraordinary ministers and
make them worthy to bring Christ to others.
