Inspired by First Communion rehearsals a couple of Sundays ago, I couldn't resist doing a segment on postures for receiving Holy Communion (but not without revealing some major pet peeves). Special thanks to my wife Ann for some voice help.  Also, the Gott Vater makes its grand return. Includes the beloved O Most Holy Trinity refrain.  Speaking of refrains, Sweet Sacrament also falls into the mix.
