Catholics do NOT "take" Communion, they RECEIVE Holy Communion from the priest or a duly authorized lay minister of the Eucharist. You receive Holy Communion because Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ commanded it, saying, Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. For the complete dissertation of Our Blessed Lord on receiving Holy Communion, read the entire sixth chapter of St. John's Gospel.
