I am starting RCIA, and when I went up to receive a blessing today, I wondered if one particular arm is supposed to be on top...just trying to be respectful!:)

Non-Catholics are requested out of respect not to receive Communion. They may approach the altar with their arms crossed over their chest to receive a blessing.
It does not matter which arm is on top.
May the Holy Spirit guide your spiritual journey.
With love in Christ.

Recieving communion in either hand is exceptable, or on the tongue. I left you a link to read and I hope it helps you!!

It makes absolutely no difference whatsoever. God bless you on your journey!

I'm not really sure that it matters. You could try looking on http://www.ewtn.com or something.
Edit: Congrats on starting your journey. I'll be praying for you.
