Don’t receive from so-called EMHCs. Set yourself up so that you only receive from the consecrated hands of an ordained priest. Switch Communion procession lines if necessary to avoid non-priests. If the consecrating priest has completely delegated distribution of the Most Holy Sacrament to others (say, to a deacon, or to one or more EMHCs) out of concern of contracting COVID-19, and there is no concelebrating priest distributing the host, it would probably be best to refrain from receiving at that mass. Better to do that than risk offending God the Father Almighty by arguably desecrating the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of his only begotten Son.

“Don’t receive from so-called EMHCs”

Oh I get the perturbed eye of the Usher when I switch over. Or when the Priest’s line is longer and they motion to get into the EMHC’s shorter line...l just smile at them...I don’t care....Maybe it gives them pause to think...dunno.... I’m older and just not going to change.....and I mentioned neighbor Carol, but before Covid,- and the absence of lay ministers- I noticed a new lay minister, about 5 feet tall and maybe 17 years old... ok she might’ve been 21..... but come on, she looked like she just got back from a youth retreat..... what is the need for this young woman to assume the role of a Priestly function? I don’t get it.......bless her heart for sure..., but not cool...
