On
certain matters to be observed or to be avoided
regarding
the Most Holy Eucharist
Chapter
VI
The
Reservation of the Most Holy Eucharist and Eucharistic Worship Outside Mass
132.
No one may carry the Most Holy Eucharist to his or her home, or to any other
place contrary to the norm of law. It should also be borne in mind that
removing or retaining the consecrated species for a sacrilegious purpose or
casting them away are graviora delicta, the absolution of which is reserved to
the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.225
133.
A Priest or Deacon, or an extraordinary minister who takes the Most Holy
Eucharist when an ordained minister is absent or impeded in order to administer
it as Communion for a sick person, should go insofar as possible directly from
the place where the Sacrament is reserved to the sick person’s home, leaving
aside any profane business so that any danger of profanation may be avoided and
the greatest reverence for the Body of Christ may be ensured. Furthermore the
Rite for the administration of Communion to the sick, as prescribed in the
Roman Ritual, is always to be used. 226
