If you miss the Consecration of the Eucharist during Mass, you cannot receive Communion at that Mass. If you do get there in time for the Consecration, you can receive Communion, but only if 1) you have not eaten for one hour before, and 2) you have no unconfessed mortal sin on your soul. If you do have mortal sin on your soul, you must go to confession before receiving Communion.

∙ 14y agoIf by mass you refer to a Catholic's weekly obligation on Sunday then no, you shouldn't. Skipping mass on a Sunday without a legitimate reason is a grave matter. That means that if you know that it is a serious sin and do it anyways the sin is mortal. This is because all Catholics are required to participate in Sunday Eucharist as written in the Catechism, #2181:
2181 The Sunday Eucharist is the foundation and confirmation of all Christian practice. For this reason the faithful are obliged to participate in the Eucharist on days of obligation, unless excused for a serious reason (for example, illness, the care of infants) or dispensed by their own pastor. Those who deliberately fail in this obligation commit a grave sin.
Those who are living with a mortal sin need to go to confession and not take the Eucharist again until they have received absolution for their sin(s). This is found in the Catechism, #1457:
1457 According to the Church's command, "after having attained the age of discretion, each of the faithful is bound by an obligation faithfully to confess serious sins at least once a year." Anyone who is aware of having committed a mortal sin must not receive Holy Communion, even if he experiences deep contrition, without having first received sacramental absolution, unless he has a grave reason for receiving Communion and there is no possibility of going to confession. Children must go to the sacrament of Penance before receiving Holy Communion for the first time.

What do we say to make the priests prayer our own?
I am assuming that by the "priest's prayer" you are referring to the priest praying at the altar during Mass? The simple answer is that if you don't "make it your own" you may as well skipped Mass because you are there to unite yourself with the priest's offering of the bread and wine, so that when they are consecrated, and become the Body and Blood of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ: you, through your offering of yourself along with them, and then by making a GOOD Holy Communion, and receiving Our Blessed Lord WORTHILY into yourself make His offered salvation your own. If you are not making the priest's prayer your own, then you are not making a worthy Holy Communion, and will receive only Our Blessed Lord's condemnation at the end. Remember that in order to make a worthy reception of Holy Communion, you must have been to confession recently. To receive Holy Communion in a state of serious sin is to "eat and drink judgment on yourself" - see St. Paul.
Is the Communion reflection the same as the Prayer after Communion?
Catholic AnswerNo, the Prayer after Holy Communion is in the Missal. The Communion "reflection" is something that the priest is making up.
Can you receive communion with a venial sin?
I sure hope so, otherwise no one can receive communion, because the Bible says that"all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 4:23)The communion ceremony is a memorial of what Jesus Christ accomplished for us. The wine represents his blood that was shed for us for the forgiveness of sins.I Corinthians 11:25After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.The broken bread represents Jesus Christ's body, which was broken so that we could receive physical healing.I Corinthians 11:24and when he had given thanks, he brake it (the bread), and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.I Peter 2:24Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.The communion is to be done "in remembrance of" Jesus Christ and what God accomplished for us through him. So in essence, when you take communion, you are acknowledging that you that you have sinned, but you are thankful that Jesus Christ paid the price for your sins so you don't have to live in condemnation anymore. Communion lifts the burden of our sins from our shoulders so that we can walk upright, as sons of God, thankful for what He accomplished for us in Christ.So please, do take communion and remember what Jesus Christ gave for you, and then leave knowing that your sins have been forgiven and try to be the best person you can be.
Who receives the anointing of the sick?
People that are are dying/about to die, have a chance of dying because of something (Such as before a high-risk surgery), or are just very ill. The person to receive the Anointing must be a baptized Catholic. If capable and if needed, they should go to confession first, and receive Holy Communion afterward. I know that the sacrament forgives venial sin, I am not sure about mortal sin in the case of someone no longer capable of making a good confession prior to receiving the sacrament - you would need to ask the priest that. The Catechism says that the sacrament "obtains the forgiveness of sins, if the sick person was not able to obtain it through the sacrament of Penance.

As a sacrament of the living, to obatin the graces intended, a person must be in a state of God's friendship when receiving, otherwise the reception becomes a sacrilege (I Corinthians 11:27-29)..First Communion. The precept of the Church that requires children to receive Holy Communion, along with the sacrament of penance, on reaching the age of reason. First issued by the Fourth Lateran Council (1215), the practice was all but discontinued for centuries, due to the inroads of Jansenism. Pope St. Pius X restored the practice and restated the precept, while he also explained how necessarily related are the two sacraments of penance and the Eucharist. "The age of discretion," he said, "both for confession and for Holy Communion is the time when a child begins to reason." This means that "a full and perfect knowledge of Christian doctrine is not necessary either for first confession or first Communion."
