Receive Communion in the State of Grace, Kneeling and on the Tongue

The modernists rebuked Pope Pius X, so that he would allow them to receive Holy Communion standing, on the grounds that the Israelites had eaten the paschal lamb, symbol and promise of the Eucharist, standing.

The answer of the Pope was:

“One waits for symbols and promises standing, but the Reality, one receives with love and on one's knees”
