I wouldn't get to hung up on the Divine Mercy prayers. The prayer itself won't do any harm but I believe what was condemned was the claims of Sr Faustina. We have depended on Divine Mercy for a long time and we need it badly. It is the modern interpretation and presumption that is condemned, as I understand it.  BTW, I'm no expert.

Also, there's much more to tradition than our postures and other visible manifestations. You need to investigate the purpose in breaking with tradition.

Dear Striving Catholic,

Would you like to tell us a bit about your conversion? Approx how old are you; and how did you come to RCIA and the decision about the Catholic Church? Did you come in alone, or with others, like family or friends?

Thank you,
In Christ

I sincerely recommend you watch this video on the "Divine Mercy devotion":
https://youtu.be/quQb-vyM9Cw?feature=shared

Touching the Body of Christ with unconsecrated hands is sacrilegious and isn't allowed in Catholic Masses.
This is a great video about the Novus Ordo fake Mass full of irreverence: https://youtu.be/WWo-7uVR8yI?feature=shared

This information might shock you, but remember to pray the rosary daily for the light of Truth and trust in God.

God bless.
I did a little research and found some good information around. I think it is actually allowed as a special permission based on the Roman Archdiocese of Singapore, but on the tongue is still considered the norm. 

It does make sense though, as it would be extremely uncharitable and unloving towards those who have weaker immune systems or are more vulnerable in health, if one insists on sticking rigidly to a form or tradition due to our own pride and disobedience, especially when the current global situation deems it still unsafe. Pssst I used to be like that and still in danger of being that.

One can only pray that this Covid pandemic clear up quickly :pray:, so the Church can finally take away Communion in the hand and enforce it on the tongue? ::) Not sure how it all works.

I found other info on the topic of receiving communion with unconsecrate hands, and frankly I take comfort in this link, knowing Catholics have been receiving on the hands for the first 800 years of Christianity, before switching to the tongue:

Hang in there, StrivingCatholic. The devil always attacks. Be strong and grow in the true faith. You are in my prayers. :pray:

Remember 1 Peter 5:8-9: "Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist ye, strong in faith..."
