Communion in the hand ...

... No way for me.

Check out Fr Z's comments on communion on the hand/tongue

Just sit/kneel at the first row pew beside the aisle. It's shocking. Some people walk up as though they were heading to the bar to get a drink. I've seen the host drop on two occasions, due to lack of a communion-plate. If my parish priest needs more servers, I'll volunteer to hold the communion-plate!
