I'm reading God is Near Us by Ratzinger and he is talking about different ways to receive communion. We know about receiving in the hand and/or the mouth, but did you know that the monks at Cluny, around the year one thousand, took their shoes off to receive communion?

You might find Dr. Peter Kwasniewski's discussion of reception of Holy Communion in the hand in his recent book, The Holy Bread of Eternal Life, a rather objective and informative review of this issue. I know you like to read.
Yes I know what Kwasniewski says. I receive on the tongue a TLM (when in Rome...) But I'm more comfortable receiving like the Apostles did, the early Christians, up to the ninth century, as Cardinal Ratzinger explains in his book "God Is Near Us".
Thanks for the comment.
Veritas!
