In the course lesson ‘Talks on Liturgical Theology,’ Catholic author and theologian David L. Gray elucidates the theological significance of consuming the Holy Eucharist at the point of reception during Mass. He articulates that this act is not merely a ritualistic gesture but a profound expression of faith, integral to the Mass’s sacramental nature. Gray emphasizes that immediate consumption aligns with the Church’s teachings and respects the Eucharist’s sanctity, thereby avoiding the error of separating the act of reception from the act of consumption, which could potentially diminish the sacrament’s reverence and meaning.
