l'm a proud regular blood donor. No, I don't particularly enjoy needles orthe sight of blood. But my mother trained me at a young age that donating blood is one of the most important things you can do to help people. For less than an hour of your time, a momentary prick, and sugar-laden goodies afterward, you can provide a giftthat is unequaled in significance-the lifegiving force of blood. Truly, donating blood is one of the most pro-life actions you can take. Today we take time to particularly recognize the gift of life we receive each week at the eucharistic table. Jesus is, in a way, the ultimate blood donor. He gives us all of himself-Body and Blood, the fullness of his life-in our eucharistic meal. Just as blood donations can sustain life for the human family, Jesus'gift of his Body and Blood is our sustaining spiritual life force, a symbol of the covenant between God and humanity that is given to us freely and has no equal.
Though I do give blood regularly, l'm able to remember to do so only because my blood center is kind enough to nudge me to sign up again after the eight-week waiting period. We come to the eucharistic table each week, but each time we step forward do we remember how significant this gift is? As we receive, are we aware of Jesus' power within us? This solemnity gives us that reminder to stay attentive to and grateful for God's gift of the Eucharist. JANEL ESKER sundaybulletins@liguori.org

PAD Rf,
What $ould I do if see a piece of hoE m the flom? What do I do if I dr@ the host? Scxndimes after holy ccxnmuniur is given oul I piees ofthe orsroatd hog cxr the floor. Is it OK to eat thsn? And what about rereiving holy Cunmuniur with drewing gum in cxre's
see S
mouth?
Eating the pieces is one option. However, it might be hard to distinguish between pieces of a host, lint, or dust. So a better option is to talk to your pastor.

he thinks there is an issue, then he could have someone
take the particles into the sacristy and put them in a container of water, allowing them to dissolve and then wash them down the sacrarium, a sink that goes directly into the ground. If he does not think there is an issue, be obedient to his decision.
That brings us to your second question. It is not respectful to chew gum when one is receiving holy Communion. Receiving holy Communion demands our respect and reverence. It requires our fullest attention. If a person were about to eat a fine meal with gum in his mouth, the cook would be insulted. In the same way, how much more important and "delicious" is the sweetness of the Lord (Psalm 34:8)? FR. D O N KIRC H N ER, C SsR sLr n d.q1 trr"r i let in,Zi i islr pd.ciig
