You can eat and drink once you had your 1st communion ceremony and you must be baptized as well.
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.
Catholics do not 'take' communion, they 'receive' communion. Yes, you must be a baptized Catholic to receive communion in a Catholic Church. Also, you must have undergone instruction and received your First Holy Communion.
.Catholic AnswerAfter the consecration (the prayer the priest says at the altar) there is no more bread and wine. All of it is entirely changed (a process known as transubstantiation) into the Body and Blood of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. You may only receive Our Blessed Lord in Holy Communion after you are old enough to recognize the difference between bread and wine and Our Blessed Lord's Body and Blood. When you are old enough to know the difference, then you must make your first Confession, and first Holy Communion. And then you receive it, you never take it. Only protestants "take" Communion. Catholics "receive" Holy Communion - there is a HUGE difference.
First off, it is not wine and bread. It has been changed and is the body of Christ. That is probably what is restricting you from receiving communion. The Catholic and Orthodox believe that it had been transfigured, even though it doesn't change form, the bread and wine change in essence. To receive the Eucharist at a Catholic Church, you yourself need to become Catholic and believe in the Transfiguration
The only "holy bread" that I know about in the Catholic Church is the bread that is blessed at Easter unless you are referring to the most Holy Eucharist which is NOT bread, it just appears that way, it is the actual Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. First communicants must first be baptized and then before they receive their first Holy Communion, they must receive Reconciliation.
Unleavened bread (Bread without yeast) and wine are the essentials in Holy Communion. You must have quite a good memory to remember the important words alone so a book or prayer sheet with the rites would be handy as well.
You must fast an hour before you receive communion and you must be in the state of grace! GOD BLESS. FRIENDSOFTONY.ORG
No, a Catholic should not receive communion in anything but a Catholic Church.
to be a catholic in good standing, meaning that you go to church on sunday, and i believe you go to some sessions with the communicant before the first communion, and i think when they receive communion you place your hand on them. It is awesome,girl or boy!
Because its part of the catholic religion.
Be in a state of Grace and fast
