Over the centuries, the issue of Holy Communion under both species has given rise to serious disputes. At the Vatican II Council, it was recognized as one of the most important elements leading the faithful to Christ. It is due to rich significance that this sacramental sign is endowed with. Holy Communion under both species allows the participants of the liturgy to take part in the Eucharist in a more perfect way. Consumption of the Body and Blood of Christ is a condition for the development of true inner life. Holy Communion reveals our profound union with Christ, who made a covenant in His own blood. Introduction of Holy Communion under both kinds facilitates a fuller participation in the liturgy of the Eucharist as it makes it easier for the faithful to experience the presence of Christ in the sacramental sign. Holy Communion taken under one form allows us to receive the whole fruit of the Eucharist, but receiving both the Body and Blood of Christ enriches and presents in the more perfect light the sign of the Eucharistic feast.
