Q: We have our “Altar of Repose” at a side altar where the Mass of the Lord’s Supper is celebrated. The Good Friday Passion Liturgy is held in the same church. Typically, we remove the Altar (flowers, candles, and the Blessed Sacrament) after Adoration concludes on Thursday night. The Blessed Sacrament is placed in the sacristy with the Sanctuary Candle. On Good Friday, the Blessed Sacrament is brought to the altar from there and returned after Communion.

The question is simple: Is this an appropriate procedure?

==

A: Yes, that procedure is fine. The Missal understands that not everybody has the same options available.
