Sao Paulo, Brazil, Aug 11, 2015 \/ 06:33 am (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- The sign of peace during Mass is not a time for congratulations or small talk, but a prayerful time to wish peace to those closest to each person, clarified the bishop of Barretos in Sao Paulo, Brazil.<\/p>\n

\tBishop Milton Kenan Junior issued an August 4 decree on the distribution of Communion under both species, the exchange of peace, and the norms for extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist at Mass.<\/p>\n

\tThe bishop stated that during the exchange of peace, the faithful should avoid moving around too much. He added that it is sufficient to \u201cgreet those persons closest to you.\u201d As for the priest celebrating the Mass, he said that \u201che should not leave the altar\u201d to greet the faithful.<\/p>\n

\tAdditionally, the prelate explained that on specific feasts or celebrations such as Easter, Christmas, a Confirmation, Marriage, Ordination, or a Funeral Mass, \u201cthe rite of peace is not a time for \u2018congratulations, Merry Christmas,\u2019 \u2018Happy Easter,\u2019 or any other type of greeting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tConcerning extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist, the bishop reminded that they do not substitute for ordained ministers, \u201cconsequently the ordained minister is not permitted to sit down during Communion time and leave the responsibility of distributing Holy Communion to the extraordinary ministers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tRegarding Communion under the species of bread and wine, the bishop declared that \u201cthe communicant is not permitted to dip the host in the chalice, nor can he receive on the hand a host that has been dipped in the chalice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe Barretos bishop\u2019s statement was in response to abuses occurring at Masses in the diocese. It was prepared using as a source the June 8, 2014 instruction from the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments on the meaning of the gift of peace at Mass.
