Speak to God (Prayer). One could thank God for his blessings, ask for help or understanding. What one discusses with God is up to them at this time.

After Holy Communion we should spend some time adoring Our Lord, thanking Him, renewing our promises of love and of obedience to Him, and asking Him for blessings for ourselves and others.

Roman Catholic AnswerBecause Holy Communion is the actual Body and Blood of Our Blessed Lord, because He asked us to do it, and because through our participation in Him in our worthy reception of this Most Blessed Sacrament, we grow closer to Him and are strengthened to live the Christian life and resist sin. Note: Catholics NEVER takeHoly Communion, they only receive Holy Communion.

We should NOT receive Holy Communion if we are not in a state of grace (if we have not previously been to confession) as St. Paul warns of the extreme danger involved in consuming the Body and Blood of the Lord unworthily.

Another Answer

I am not a preacher or anything like that but I do love God and I think that Holy Communion is a remembrance of what Our Lord and Savior did for us!(Dying on the cross for our sins) So after I receive Holy Communion I pray to God and repent and picture him dying on the cross getting savagely beat by many roman soldiers (Passion of the Christ). I can't think of any reason why someone would accept that punishment for no crimes committed. That's Love.

"He was pierced for of our transgressions, He was crushed for of our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed."

- Isaiah 53:5

"God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

-Romans 5:8

Communion after divorce?

Roman Catholic AnswerOne may only receive Holy Communion when one is in a state of grace. Receiving Holy Communion in a state of sin is a grave sacrilege and another mortal sin. If one is the innocent party to a divorce, has not attempted a "remarriage", has been to confession, and is in a state of grace, then there is no problem with receiving Holy Communion. If in doubt as to your status, check with the priest while you are in confession.
