After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no fuller on earth could bleach them. Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, Rabbi, it is good that we are here! Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. He hardly knew what to say, they were so terrified. Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; then from the cloud came a voice, This is my beloved Son. Listen to him. Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone but Jesus alone with them. -The 4th Luminous Mystery

Receiving the Eucharist

Document Title: "
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 "
