1) the communicant must be a Catholic in communion with the Church; who believes wholeheartedly in the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
2) to be living in accord with the teaching of the Church and, if married, to be married according to the law of the Church.
3) To be in a state of grace, free from any deliberate grave sin that has not been forgiven through the Sacrament of Confession.
4) to have fasted for at least one hour before Communion.
5) to have prepared prayerfully to receive Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.
Nowadays, some Catholics only come to Mass every few weeks. In such cases it is necessary for them to go to Confession and form a firm resolution to attend Mass every week before receiving Holy Communion again.
A person unable to receive Holy Communion may make a ‘Spiritual Communion’. The following prayer is one such that might be used:
SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
My Jesus, I believe that You are truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if you were already there, and unite myself to you. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen. |
