Over the weekend I experienced something for the first time. At a wedding when I went up for communion I was denied it because I knelling. I have only heard about this happening for many years but never thought it would happen to me, I was shocked. Looking back I should have known something was off because the priest instructed everyone to remain standing for consecration, which my wife and I did anyway. Also, the priest had the bride and groom on the alter during consecration, which as far as I know is a violation of cannon law.

I must say this experience really make me reflect how important the Eucharist to me and being denied it made me realized how at time I take this gift for granted. I wonder how many out there, like me, take it for granted. How much does it hurt our Lord.

I pretty certain little come of it, but I will be reporting this priest to the Bishop, I am also considering writing him a letter, and sharing my thoughts, feeling, and church rules.
