Patrick Madrid addresses a caller's question about receiving Eucharist on the tongue versus receiving communion by hand. He emphasizes the historical context of the Last Supper, explaining that the directive "take and eat" from Jesus pertained to the apostles, who were ordained priests, and not to the general group of lay people. Madrid's insightful commentary provides clarity on this theological matter, making it a must-listen for those seeking a deeper understanding of the Eucharist.
