Norm in bringing the Holy Eucharist to the sick.
Instruction:
Redemptionis Sacramentum
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
Location of the Tabernacle.
“According to the structure of each church building, the Holy Sacrament is to be kept in a tabernacle in a part of the church that is dignified, prominent, readily noticeable, and adorned in a noble manner” and also “appropriate for prayer” by reason of the quietness of the location, the space available in front of the tabernacle, and also the supply of benches or seats and kneelers. In addition, diligent attention should be paid to all the prescriptions of the liturgical books and to the norm of law, especially as regards the avoidance of the danger of profanation (130; cf. GIRM 314).
Norm in giving Holy Communion.
In giving Holy Communion Sacred Ministers may not deny the sacraments to those who want to receive it in a tranquil manner, are appropriately ready, and are not forbidden by law from receiving them.” therefore any baptized Catholic who is not prevented by law must be admitted to Holy Communion. Thus, it is not allowed to deny Holy Communion to any of Christ’s faithful as long as he/she is ready and not prohibited by church law. (91; cf. CIC 843 §1).
