Eucharist
Eucharist celebrates our life together as a community, the presence of Christ in our midst, the Word that is proclaimed and explained.
In order to receive the Eucharist, we should:
*Be in a state of grace. Mortal sins must be confessed in Reconciliation before receiving communion.
*Be of good intent. Commit ourselves to live a life free from sin and be devoted to the work of God.
*Be open to the action of Christ within ourselves.
*Observe a fast. Abstain from food and drink (except water) for one hour before receiving the Eucharist.
