Question from on 04-17-2007:
I understand that Canon Law allows a person who has already received communion to receive a second time on the same day if he participates in the mass where the consecration has taken place. If I attend 5pm Mass on Saturday (which fulfills the Sunday obligation), would I be allowed to then receive two times on the Sunday (I would be attending 2 Masses on Sunday)? Could you also briefly explain the reason for the limit of twice? Would this be a sin to receive more than twice? Why or why not?
Thank you and God bless.
Answer by Fr. Robert J. Levis on 04-18-2007:
Dear GA, YOu may receive the Eucharist on any Saturday, and twice on the following Sunday, provided you attend a whole Mass twice on Sunday. The Church limits such reception ordinarily trying to prevent careless reception of grace. More is not necessarily better. Fr. Bob Levis "
