Previously published in SamenKerk in February 2026, the article explains receiving communion reverently. In the Netherlands, Catholics can choose to receive on the tongue or in the hand. Both call for humility, gratitude and a clear amen. When receiving in the hand, the host must be consumed immediately in front of the minister.
