And those nuns struck the fear of God into you about it. They had you thinking that God would strike you dead for doing something like that to Christ's body.

LOL...I still remember my "1st communion" the water founts were covered with purple covers (because in my day you could also not drink after midnight if you were going to communion)

And we too were forbidden to "chew " the wafer because jesus "might actually bleed "

Wow...Did they tell you that would be painful to Jesus???

I have a vivid memory when I was seven of being SO hungry before Sunday Mass that I snuck a ½ donut and still received communion. I was guilt-wracked for the entire week - so afraid I would go to hell if I died before the following Saturday confession. Somehow, I don't think that is what our Lord intended for us.
