Alternate for "Body of Christ"
A few Sundays ago at Mass, while recieving, the priest said something other than "Body of Christ." It sounded as if he said, "Body of strength." I listened carefull,y and he said it to everyone else, as well. At this particular parish we kneel down in a row and recieve, as they did some years ago. I was wondering if there is anything else priests can say when distributing the host to someone.

NOTE: Please forgive the delay in posting this Q&A. We had a server crash over the weekend. Dear Damien, Put quite simply, NO the priest is never allowed to make such a change. The Missal is clear what is to be said, and does not allow for alternatives. Thanks for writing, Mr. Slavek |
