I did a stint as an altar boy during my youth.
We would get hosts from the can where it's stored and eat it like snacks.
At the same time, it was inculcated in us the sacredness of the consecrated hosts.
Much stricter pa nga dahil bawal talagang hawakan ng nagko-komunyon.
So when the practice of lay ministers administering the hosts started, it was an awkward phase for me.
I would specifically fall in line sa pila ng paring nagpapa-komunyon, not the lines for the lay ministers.
Lalo na when it started na it was given to the parishioners themselves, it took a while for me to get used to it.
This pandemic normalized everything, kaya din siguro nagkaroon ng idea at ng chance si Ateneo boy.
