When must Catholics receive communion each year?
Traditionally during Holy Week or the Easter Season, but as long as it is at least one time during the year and after (within eight days of) a confession. Catholics ought to receive communion every mass they attend or compulsarily on Sunday - the Sabbath day. The Holy Communion is the Body of Jesus Christ and the person is blessed after receiving it with faith.
How often should you take Communion?
You may never "take" Holy Communion, you may only "receive" Holy Communion. You should receive Holy Communion as frequently as you can, while you are in a state of grace, and have been fasting. You may not receive Holy Communion more than twice a day, and the second time only if you have been to an entire Mass. If you are not in a state of grace, or are not fasting, or have already received Holy Communion that day, you should never receive.
When you are waiting in line to receive holy communion what should you be doing?

Is it a mortal sin when somebody receives Holy Communion and they are not married by the Catholic Church?
.Catholic AnswerIt is a serious sin (mortal) and sacrilege for anyone to receive Holy Communion when they are not in a state of grace (i.e. that are in a state of serious sin). A Catholic is morally bound to be married in the Church by a member of the clergy, so he would objectively be committing a mortal sin if he married outside the Church without permission from his Bishop. If he continues in this state and receives Holy Communion, he would actually be committing several mortal sins each and every time he received Holy Communion. Sacrilege is a very serious sin, which is committed anytime someone receives Holy Communion when they are not in a state of grace, St. Paul warned about this most vehemently in the Bible when he said this was the reason that many were sick and some had died - because they had received Holy Communion without recognizing the Body (i.e., they didn't believe it was really the Body and Blood of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ). Another serious sin - scandal is committed anytime that someone sees you receiving Holy Communion while you are living in such a relationship. This, if anything, is more serious than sacrilege, as you are leading another into sin. Bottom line? One should never receive Holy Communion unless you have been to confession recently, and certainly not if you are aware of serious unconfessed sin.
Is it sufficient to hear Mass on radio or television to fulfill obligation to attend Mass?
No. You have to receive Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, which you cannot do so from listening to the Mass on the radio or hear it on TV..Catholic AnswerNo, if you are sick in bed, say in the hospital, and are unable to attend Mass, then it is probably a profitable thing to do to listen to Mass on the radio or watch it on the television. However, neither would fulfill your Sunday and Holy Day Obligation of attending Mass. It is, indeed, a praiseworthy and holy thing to be able to receive Holy Communion, however, you are not required to receive Holy Communion except once during the Easter Season. You are, however, required toattend Mass each Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation. The main point of Mass is to worship Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, in person, when He arrives on the altar during the consecration. It is wholly impossible to do this in person on the television or radio: there you are just witnessing a representation of it.
What do people do at Mass?
In the Liturgy of the Eucharist you offer yourself to God and He offers Himself to you in Holy Communion, which you may receive only if you are in a state of grace (have been to confession recently). To receive Holy Communion in a state of sin is a grave sin in itself and St. Paul warns about the dangers of this.

When you receive the holy spirit where does he specifically dwell in the body?
I can not answer this as to where in the body the Holy Spirit dwells, mainly because I do not know specifically where in my body my spirit dwells. I do believe the Holy Spirit dwells in my spirit (wherever that is). Man's spirit is that part of me that relates to worship and divine communion with God. It could be that empty space in each man that God wants to fill with Himself.
