A special minister of holy communion is a lay person who is given the opportunity to help the priest or presider in a Mass to distribute Holy Communion. A special minister of holy communion may also give holy communion to the sick.
Communion invitatiins can be sent out any time the parents or guardians want their kid to do it. It's a special time. They usally have a big get together or a big dinner when they do this.
Nothing special happens at a second communion. It is only the first Communion that is particularly celebrated, because it is the first. From then on, it is done in a normal way, with no special attention.
In Islam the idea of communion means a special time for prayer. According to the belief one is expected to engage in this prayer both day and night in order to gain perfect communion with God. So this is the meaning of Communion in Islam.
Communion is usually held during a church service. Some churches have communion one day a month. Others have it only on special times. Ask your church when you will have one.
We do not receive communion. Sometimes on special occasions, like Easter, they give the adults wine, but I do not know if that is for every church. I do not think this is the same for every church. Most churches do receive communion on a weekly or monthly basis.
Viaticum is the communion of the dying
In the Catholic Church non Catholics may not receive communion without a special dispensation from the Bishop. Catholics in the state of serious sin may not receive communion.
The wafer represents the body of Christ; wine represents His blood. If we treated Communion as just a food or that we can have 'seconds' or have 'more', we reduce it to the mere 'ordinary'. So Communion is restricted as a special Holy Sacrament.
No, it is to remind us of Christ's sacrifice on the Cross. Also with the sacrament of communion we gain a special temporal grace which will stay with us until we commit a sin.
So the Lord God can see that we respect his holy church.
