Reverence before Holy Communion
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops have, with the approval of the Vatican, indicated the norms for receiving Holy Communion at Mass. When receiving Holy Communion in the hand, the communicant bows his or her head before the sacrament as a gesture of reverence and receives the Body of the Lord from the minister. The consecrated host may be received either on the tongue or in the hand at the discretion of each communicant. When Holy Communion is received under both kinds, the sign of reverence is also made before receiving the Precious Blood.
The Rosary
The Pope asks that everyone recite the rosary frequently and with the understanding that the rosary links us to Mary and ultimately leads us to a deeper relationship with Jesus. He recommends Sunday as an especially appropriate day. How to Pray the Rosary
