Sharing the Light
Sometimes it happens that those severely affected by gluten intolerance are also not able to consume wine. Does that mean that they cannot receive Holy Communion at all?
It is possible for a person who is unable to consume the precious blood {wine} at the celebration of the Eucharist to ask the Archbishop for special permission to consume mustum, a specially made grape juice which contains no additives, is not pasteurized and has a very low alcohol content (less than 1.0%) due to the fact that the fermentation process has been arrested briefly after its start. There are only two suppliers of mustum in the United States:
