Question:
I was given only the host at a recent Mass, not the precious blood. Was this appropriate?
Answer:
Yes. A full Communion is made when a communicant receives either the host or the precious blood. It is not necessary to receive both the host and the precious blood; in fact, for centuries the standard eucharistic protocol was for the laity to be given only the host.
