Liturgical Hints & Ideas:
The theology of the Eucharist is central to any understanding of liturgy, and quite topical in the Year of the Eucharist proclaimed by Pope John Paul II.
The Catholic bishops of Pennsylvania have produced an excellent booklet called Questions and Answers on the Eucharist and have granted permission for us to reproduce excerpts here.
Please contact the Communications Director for the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference for copies of the full booklet, or to obtain permission to reproduce excerpts.
The mailing address and website are found at the end of this page.
How should I prepare myself to receive the Eucharist?
In a tradition that is enjoying a resurgence in many parishes, a number of people are once again coming to
church early to prepare themselves quietly for the spiritual experience of the Eucharistic Liturgy and the reception of our Lord in communion.
This is one small practice that each of us can adopt as a way of strengthening our own faith and appreciating more deeply the mystery we are invited to enter as we approach the presence of God with
us in the Eucharist.
Those few minutes of quiet preparation have the spiritual effect of making our heart "an avenue for the Lord."
All it takes is a little time to recollect our thoughts, recall what we are doing and thank God for the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.
Is everyone permitted to receive the Eucharist?
Often at weddings, funerals and other religious occasions where those who do not share our faith are present there is the temptation among those present to try to avoid any type of awkwardness by inviting non-Catholics to receive the Eucharist.
Those who are not in full communion with the Church, however, are not permitted to participate at the table of the Lord as if they were full members, sharers in the full sacramental life of the Church.
Reception of communion creates the public perception that the one receiving the Lord is in full unity with the Catholic Church.
Guidelines for the reception of communion have been approved by the United States Bishops.
To help both Catholics and those who do not share our faith respond appropriately, the National Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued guidelines for receiving holy communion.
These remind Catholics of the need to be properly disposed, to maintain a fast for at least one hour
before reception of holy communion and to seek to live in charity and love with their neighbors.
For other Christians, the text points out that
it is a consequence of the sad divisions of Christianity that we cannot extend to them a general invitation to receive communion.
Catholics believe that the Eucharist is an action of the celebrating community signifying a oneness in faith, life and worship of the community.
Reception of the Eucharist by Christians not fully united with us would imply a oneness which does not yet exist and for which we must all pray.
