How often should you take Communion?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Catholics may receive Holy Communion every day. Lay people should never receive Communion more than twice in a day unless they are near death.

Improved and explained:

Catholics may receive the Eucharist twice per day or three times under special conditions. Let's say you attend Mass in the morning and a wedding later in the day. You may receive at both Masses. Should you then attend an anticipated Mass that evening to fulfill your Sunday obligation, you may receive a third time.

Answer 3

A Catholic, according to the precepts of the Church, must receive Communion at least once a year during the Easter Season. Ideally one should receive Communion each and every Sunday - provided that one is in a State of Grace. --State of Grace is when one, after regular and serious reflection is not in a state of serious sin, in other words, has been to confession recently. Most spiritual directors when talking to people who are serious about their spiritual life recommend weekly or every other weekly confession.

Answer 4

Catholics do not 'take' communion. Catholics receive communion. 'Taking communion' is Protestant terminology. Catholics may receive communion up to twice each day, three times under special circumstances.

Answer 5

Never, Holy Communion may only be received, it is never taken. Normally, Holy Communion may be received once a day, but the Vatican has issued a ruling saying that Holy Communion may be received a second time on the same day if you have attended the entire Mass at which you would be receiving your second Holy Communion.

Answer 6

Communion is usually every 1st Sunday of the month.

Catholics receive communion every week during Mass.

Answer 7

As often as possible, but at least once a year after receiving the sacrament of Reconciliation

Answer 8

Generally a lay person should only receive communion once a day. Exceptions are sometimes made but usually it is considered inappropriate and unnecessary to receive more than once daily.
