What do you seek before receiving Holy Communion?
Forgiveness
Communion after divorce?
Roman Catholic AnswerOne may only receive Holy Communion when one is in a state of grace. Receiving Holy Communion in a state of sin is a grave sacrilege and another mortal sin. If one is the innocent party to a divorce, has not attempted a "remarriage", has been to confession, and is in a state of grace, then there is no problem with receiving Holy Communion. If in doubt as to your status, check with the priest while you are in confession.
Can a Catholic receive Holy Communion when he arrives a little time before Holy Communion is distributed?
A priest from our parish said that one must be there at least in time for the Our Father to receive Holy Communion, but, in reality, you probably won't be denied Holy Communion if you arrived after the Our Father. Although you should not really even approach to receive if you are that late. If you have arrived that late, and it is a Sunday, you must either attend another Mass to fulfill your obligation or confess before receiving Holy Communion, as it is a mortal sin to miss a Sunday or Holy Day of Obligation Mass.
What are the conditions before a person may receive Holy Communion?
You need to be baptized Catholic, and have made your first Holy Communion, you need to be in a state of grace, otherwise, you need to go to confession before receiving Holy Communion.

If married, you need to be married before a Catholic priest, or dispensed from such by your Bishop.

Can I receive Holy Communion even though I didn't receive reconciliation?
Roman Catholic AnswerNot if you are in a state of mortal sin. To receive Holy Communion in a state of mortal sin, is not only another mortal sin, but sacrilege and scandal, as well - both of which are mortal sins. You have to remember that Holy Communion is the actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, Himself, Who is God. Anytime you are in a state of sin you are required to go to confession first, if you are unable to get to confession before Mass, you should refrain from approaching for Communion and make an act of Spiritual Communion - where you pray to God to forgive you and to come into your soul as if you were able to receive Holy Communion.
