A YouTube Priest Says You Shouldn’t Pray After Communion. Here’s Why He’s Wrong...
Jimmy Akin corrects popular Franciscan YouTuber Fr. Casey Cole’s claim that it’s “not appropriate” to pray privately after Communion and that EVERYONE must sing the Communion hymn. Jimmy goes through the argument line-by-line and exposes the claim as a classic “pious little legalism.” Jimmy quotes parts of the General Instruction that Fr. Casey never mentioned and reveals what Rome actually says about post-Communion prayer. A powerful, fact-packed defense of your right to thank Jesus after receiving him in holy Communion!

I was once told that when you kneel down after receiving communion that it is a good time to pray for the Holy Father in Rome.

DeletePrayer is conversation with God I was taught 75 years past, so what better time to talk to him when is fiscally with you-that is if you believe that the Eucharist is truly Jesus present!
ReplyDeleteJimmy, Thank you for clarifying. A little less hubris and greater attention to detail would not only benefit Fr. Cole but also those who watch his videos.
ReplyDelete“Breaking in” clearly means “making something more comfortable,” in this case the habit (religious or virtue-oriented). Akin gets most things right here, and certainly has the right to respond, but he seems too personally annoyed with the padre, which doesn’t help his argument, no more than the padre’s excess of emotion helps his.
