In your ministry, you must be examples of Christian living in faith and
conduct; you must strive to grow in
holiness through this sacrament of
unity and love.
Remember that,
though many, we are one body because
we share the one bread and one cup.
As ministers of Holy Communion be,
therefore, especially observant of the
Lord’s command to love your
neighbour. For when he gave his body
as food to his disciples, he said to
them: “This is my commandment
that you should love one another as I
have loved you.”
