No you can't, because in The Bible it explains how god destroyed 2 cities because they were showing gay affection.So think about it if god destroyed these cities, for doing a sin which was people being gay in the cities, do you think lesbian can receive holy communion? and the answer is no because its a sin. Matter of fact gay, lesbian people are worse than animals, because animals will never ever do that type of thinks in life.
Catholics do not take communion, they receive communion.
can you receive holy communion before fasting for blood work
No.
Whether or not you may receive Holy Communion depends on whether you are in a state of grace and properly disposed to receive Holy Communion (and a Catholic). Thus, if you are a Catholic child, and have been to confession recently and are not in a state of sin, and have already made your first Holy Communion, then you may receive Holy Communion. What gives me pause is your "not in the habit of going to Church". Missing a Sunday Mass or a Mass on any Holy Day of your own free will would put you in a state of mortal sin, and you would be unable to receive Holy Communion until you had been in to confession. Your best bet would be to give your local priest a call, make an appointment, and go down and have a talk with him, and make a good confession while you are there. The priest will be able to guide you as to how and when you make receive Holy Communion, and the absolution from the confession will put you in a state of grace to be able to receive Holy Communion.
Roman Catholic AnswerIf you accidentally receive Holy Communion before your First Holy Communion, then you better accidentally talk to a priest ASAP and accidentally receive First Confession.
Catholics do not TAKE Holy Communion, they may only RECEIVE it from a priest or a licensed Eucharistic Minister.
No, you receive Anointing anytime you are sick enough to be in danger of death, regardless of whether you have received your First Holy Communion or not.
There are different ways you can receive holy communion. When you walk up to the Priest or the person giving out communion, you place or hands out one over the other. The person giving out communion will say the body of christ, you will then say amen. As you walk back to your seat you can then choose to cross or to not. Another way to receive holy communion is to kneel on the floor in front of the person giving out communion, open your mouth and it will be placed on your tongue. Either one is correct depending on your personal beliefs. You must have taken classes and have received your first communion, to receive holy communion.
You do not have to be baptized to receive holy communion in the United Methodist Church. The only requirement is that you feel moved to take communion. This is called open communion.
you receive the body of christ with the wine[blood of christ]
We receive Holy Communion because there are 7 sacraments. Communion is an intimate encounter with Christ.
Catholic AnswerCatholics do not "take" Holy Communion, they "receive" it. And Church, usually at Mass, is the place and time to receive Our Blessed Lord in the Holy Eucharist. The only time to receive Holy Communion at home is if you are sick, and a priest, deacon, or duly appointed Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist brings Him to you. Any other way or receiving Our Lord, unless specifically approved by your Bishop is not permitted by the Church. Finally, although it is still Holy Communion, it is infinitely better to receive Holy Communion during Mass both because a) just attending Mass, even without Holy Communion, is a great source of grace, b) and, believe it or not, being a Christian means being part of the Body of Christ. Being Christian is a corporate thing, you need to be worshipping with your fellow Christians, and receiving Holy Communion with them. So you are mistaken, it is not better to receive Holy Communion at home, and it is NEVER better to TAKE Holy Communion.
