voilà sa réponse à la question des journalistes à la sortie de sa réception du prix Nobel de la paix :

« Quelle est la source principale du mal dans le monde ? ».

Réponse : « Que des chrétiens reçoivent la communion sacramentelle sur la main ».

Mother Teresa herself evidently regards the practice in a somewhat negative light:
I will tell you a secret, since we have just a thousand close friends together, and also because we have the Missionaries of Charity with us, whom the Holy Spirit has sent into the world that the secrets of many hearts might be revealed. Not very long ago I said Mass and preached for their Mother, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and after breakfast we spent quite a long time talking in a little room. Suddenly, I found myself asking her – I don't know why –: « Mother, what do you think is the worst problem in the world today? » She more than anyone could name any number of candidates : famine, plague, disease, the breakdown of the family, rebellion against God, the corruption of the media, world debt, nuclear threat, and so on. Without pausing a second she said: « Wherever I go in the whole world, the thing that makes me the saddest is watching people receive Communion in the hand. »
