Asked Catholic Eucharist / Holy Communion?
Need advice from fellow Catholics!, Tonight I was at mass and was about to start, I was sitting near the table where the holy bread and wine of Christ is maintained, before he is brought to the mass for altering!
This woman came and put something into the cup, which contains the bread of Christ appeared that only one half of the communion bread, was not filled to its communion with the bread that was full, it is difficult to describe the disposition of our 6 the church, but we saw this and just wait each other then the woman sat in the front pews, the bell rang and the priest came and started mass that has not seen this!
I was in two minds whether I would have said something to the preist after mass, I was talking to one of our nuns at the exit after the Mass and was busy, and not unwilling to appear as "I am making a mess or a trouble maker or anything, so I said nothing to the priest!
Should I say something? I tell the priest?

I draw the attention of the priest. Maybe nothing, but there are some people out wack. Can a crowd retreated and she collected it and put it in the cup?
They always do that, but this is the first time I've seen done.
Nobody but the priest, or someone authorized by him has any business putting anything in the ciborium or chalice.
Tell the priest what he observed, and when, preferably through a written note.
He will look after him as best I can.
As a Catholic, as if something happened in our parish undoubtedly speak to someone who thought I might know or know and what to do about it. I am not one who likes to do, either problem, but without knowing that it could be something very bad. I have a question in my mind and I wonder if this person is a parishiner? If you would like to know as sure what it is. God bless …
Hard to say. If the woman was sexton of the church or someone to help that person (sacristans are responsible for ensuring all necessary steps for the Mass is at hand - including grants, which is the bread and wine are pre - consecration, placed so that someone in the congregation can offer them at the right time), then you can only have been the replacement of a portion of bread that do not fall into the cup when it is full.
Have not seen this, I can not say whether or not what he did was correct, but from your description I guess it was nothing sinister. Since this was started before the Mass, the bread and wine were not yet committed and therefore would not have been any sacrilege involved in any case. Refer to your priest, however, if in doubt.
Edit: I do not think the low-gluten hosts, but is a reasonable explanation.
It is possible that she was put under a gluten host the ciborium. If you have celiac disease and can not consume wheat content of the standard host, which could be approved the purchase of low-gluten hosts at its own expense for the consecration. These hosts have a different appearance than those in general use.
Since I was sitting in the front, which would be among the first to receive the priest was aware of his condition, given the low gluten host before the rest of the congregation.
In any case, it is worth mentioning that the priest. I'm sure you can do so with discretion and charity.
I've seen this many times. They put the magic powder in the cup. Your call is magic dust, and soon begin to believe everything they tell you.
Sounds like he was adding a bit of "the body of Zeus" in "the body of Christ"
Its stone.
