This is a work focused on the possibility of receiving Communion in the hand. The author sees in the return to the traditional manner of Communion —kneeling and on the tongue— the secret to the renewal of the Church. He points out good reasons for this traditional way of receiving Communion and cites texts from the Magisterium. He also notes some theological reasons that, in his opinion, are contrary to receiving Communion in the hand.

It is a small book aimed at people with good theological training, who can discern and are familiar with other declarations of the Church's Magisterium that are not cited in the book.
