Roman Catholic AnswerIf you accidentally receive Holy Communion before your First Holy Communion, then you better accidentally talk to a priest ASAP and accidentally receive First Confession.
Roman Catholic AnswerYes, as long as you have been to confession first and the priest gives you permission, a legal separation for a valid reason should not normally put you a state where you would be unable to receive Holy Communion; but you should go to confession first.
Nobody can take Holy Communion in a Catholic Church, you may only receive Holy Communion from the priest, and then only if you have been baptized in the Catholic Church and previously made your first Confession and First Holy Communion. Bottom line? An Anglican may not take communion in a Catholic Church.
First thing to do is talk to a priest who will be happy to inform you the steps you need take.
no, never. you should go to confession first. no, never. you should go to confession first.
The purpose of the Eucharist in mass is for everyone to take in Jesus. The Bread and Winebecomes the Body and Blood of Christ once the priest has blessed it.To be able to take Communion you must have had you first Holy Communion. Once you have had it you can receive Bread and Wine (The body and Blood) at Church. When you go up for Communion the priest will say "the body of Christ" and will have to answer "Amen" to receive it.
Once the Host has been consecrated by the priest, it becomes the Body of Christ. After consecration, the Eucharist is administered by either the priest, the deacon, or trained Eucharistic Ministers.
Roman Catholic Answer:The priest is the normal way in which God comes to a person and that person comes to God. It is the priest who, normally, begins one life in Christ with Baptism. The priest hears your first confession and gives you your first Holy Communion. The priest oversees your instruction in the faith, performs your marriage, continues to hear your confession and gives you God's absolution; and gives you Holy Communion throughout life. He baptises your children, anoints you when you are ill, and finally at the end of your life hears your last confession, gives you Viaticum (Holy Communion for the dying for the journey to the next world) and gives you Last Rites. Finally, after you have died, he performs your funeral and burial, he prays for your soul to help you in purgatory. Bottom line, the only reason we are here on earth, living this life is to spend eternity with God, and the only way in which we are going to accomplish that is through the priest, I should rate his important clear off the scale high!
