Receiving Communion in a state of mortal sin

In this video I respond to a question about how to properly receive Holy Communion. Often, we find ourselves not understanding of the sacrament we are partaking in, or due to some societal/community pressure we choose to receive the sacrament of communion when we know we shouldn't. In this video I describe why it is mandatory to be in a state of grace before participating in the sacrament.

    When will we be able to do confession on line, Church is not like it use to be, open all the time, You could make an appointment with the priest to see him or have something Blessed are give a great confession but no more. It's like they are hiding The priests from us so we can't get to him talk to him or anything. In our church The priest comes in through a back door up to a room where he changes into his Vestment then he exits the same way. no interacting with the people to many of the lay people handing out The Holy Communion to everyone. The Priests hardly has a job anymore. what is up with that...

    My understanding is there is another option. You can still go up if you have mortal sin and haven't confessed yet. Go in line up to the priest, then cross your hands on your chest and look downwards when you stand in front of him. The priest will give you a blessing. You can then go to confession. You got to go up and at least got a blessing.

    Jesus told all of his disciples to eat the bread, and drink the wine, even Judas, even though he knew what Judas was going to do. I guess if he hadn’t done it yet it doesn’t count. The New Testament give examples of even thinking of a sin is a sin. In the Old Testament you had to actually sin, or attempt to sin, before you where held accountable. Which makes more sense to me.

    Simply go to Confession and confess your unworthy reception of Holy Communion...all will be forgiven. Then, just don't do it again. Always examine your conscience before mass and make Confession a regular habit. The more often you go to Confession, the easier it gets to thoroughly examine your soul.

    I used to receive communion when I was a kid until I was 13 when my mom was first diagnosed with breast cancer. Afterwards I stopped going to church because my mom drove my brother and I. My mom passed when she had cancer a second time when I was 16. My brother and I then moved in with our dad who was not a practicing Catholic and was married to an atheist. So, we never went to church. I'm now 48 and decided to become a practicing Catholic and receive communion. So, I started going to church and after a couple weeks I went into confession. I don't think I have mortal sin, but I guess denying Jesus Christ is a mortal sin. I went to confession twice, being my first two times. I was baptized when I was a baby and went to Catechism. So, I'm all good there. But since my first communion with this new church, I've been getting strange looks from the priest. He would look at me with a scowl and I thought maybe I was doing something wrong, because it had been long while. I explained the situation with my cousin and her husband and they said they never heard of a priest doing that before. And then a second priest giving bread also gave me that scowl. Then for a while everything was fine, until last Wednesday. It was my mother's birthday and I wanted to go to church pray. When it came time for communion, I was last in line and when I reached the front, the priest who handed out bread moved away from the front where he had been standing the entire time and moved to the side. I wasn't sure what to do, so I moved with him and held out my hands. He looked at the other priest unsure what to do then handed me the bread. I felt that was weird. Sorry for the long winded story, but I was wondering if you know anything about this. I told my brother and he looked it up and said he thinks I've been excommunicated and the priest is giving my subtle hints. Even if I did commit a mortal sin by denying Christ for not going to church all of these years, doesn't confession release you of that sin? Maybe I should consider talking to the priest and hope he could enlighten me on the situation? I'd like to know your thoughts and anyone else's who might read this. God bless. 🙏

    Guilty Twice First time I was 11 or twelve years old Catholic boarding school for boys, another boy and myself stole the sacrament from the father's alter probably defiling the next mass niether of us understood it's seriousness but we know we were not supposed to be there and knew what stealing was it wasn't out of disrespect towards God we were just curious about what the waver sacrament taste like I was led into that sin by the other boy who appeared to me to have committed that sin before that was just my impression that he's done this before and I went along with it when he defiled the purity of an unsupervised sacrament probably one of my worst mortal sins which still requires absolution. Second time I believe I attended a mass some years ago with a friend who knew I was in a state mortal sin and I knew that I had not been prepared or had ever received instruction on excepting holy communion at the time I had forgotten the teachings about mortal sin and venial sins and still had not understood as an adult that the sacrament wasn't just bread and wine and still believed it was ceremonial and symbolic. I still haven't confessed it in a confessional as I either forgot or didn't didn't understand the difference between confessing to God and a Priest and fell away from the church. I am now exploring the church again and discovering things I either forgot or didn't quite grasp. I feel shame and embarrassment for defiling the table of Jesus and stealing the body and bread of Christ, Father if you could pray for my soul although I am undeserving of the grace of Jesus Christ.

    In the rites of the Mass we are absolved from veniel sin. Mortal sin must be confessed to a priest and absolution must be administered. It is possible to be refused absolution. In confession the priest is acting in 'persona Christe', the person of Christ (acting in His authority).

If you don't know, it's good to go once every month or two just in case as the priest in confession absolves you of all sins you weren't really aware of. You must though confess what you do know.

    If you are preaching this to the laity, I can understand. Now, what would u say if a confirmed n habitual pedophile, sodomite drunk or porn watching catholic priest does mass, transubstansiation n partake of the HOLY EUCHARIST. N there are so many of these around these days. So no such thing as resolving not to commit the same sin again. He is surely doing a double sin n sins against 1Cor 11:29 ie partaking in sin. This is what makes the Catholic Church n the Catholic catechism a false church. St Paul, moved by the Holy Spirit, wrote this. So who has authorised the magisterium to say that a Catholic priest in sin can do mass n transubstansiation n partake of the HOLY EUCHARIST? So the bible says 1 thing n the Catholic catechism says another. Yet the Catholic Church teaches that the eucharist is the real body n blood, soul n divinity of jesus. Yet catholic priests in sin can partake of it while the lay persons cannot. This is stupidity at its peak. No such thing that pedophile n sodomite priests, bishops, n pope are exempted from any thing from the bible. This is what make the Catholic Church a false church.

    Mortal sins? This is the problem with the catholic church, you guys have religion centered around jesus, and yet dont even believe him. HE TOOK CARE OF SIN ON THE CROSS, thats literally the whole point of why he died lol. What do think 1 corinthians 15 1-4 means when it says "Christ died for OUR sins" he died as our substitute, making the payment in full. Thats why he said "it is finished" what is finished? The payment for sin! You have nothing to pay for anymore, you simply put your faith in the fact that it was done already and you are saved forever. Ephesians 1:13-14 "In Him you also TRUSTED, after you heard the word of truth, the GOSPEL of your salvation, in whom also, having BELIEVED, you were SEALED with the HOLY SPIRIT of PROMISE, who is the GUARANTEE of our INHERITANCE UNTIL THE REDEMPTION OF THE PURCHASED POSSESSION, to the praise of His glory" If mortal sins existed, why did Jesus say this in John "And I give unto them ETERNAL LIFE; and they shall NEVER PERISH, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” By you guys' doctrine he is lying. You make the lord out to be a liar.

    I beg to differ. If Christ decided not to give his body and blood to sinner's he would not have died on the cross for us sinner's and we would not be having this conversation. Christ walked among sinner's and was criticised for doing so. When we as sinner's decide that someone should not receive communion because of their sins, then we are going against Christ's teachings. We are pointing at the speck of sin in the other person's eye while ignoring the plank of hypocrisy in our own eye. Matthew 7:3-5 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You HYPOCRITE, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. Jesus gave Judas his body and blood knowing he had committed the greatest sin of all, the betrayal of Jesus. So let us follow the example of Christ, stop judging sinner's and do as he did. God bless you all.

    Strange. Its always receiving comm in sin but not doing the transubstantiation in sin. The laity is always fully aware not to receive in sin but what does a priest do when he is in sin. Especially if he is a confirmed homosexual or a confirmed paedophile or in a relationship with a woman. If he is in any one of the above states, which almost all priests are in, then the people are receiving plain bread. There is no such thing as transubstantiation taking place when a priest is in sin n no such thing as the sin of such a priest not nullifying the consecration as the priest is the only one set apart for this task n transubstantiation is effective whether or not the priest is in sin. The priests in the OT had to be sanctified before going into the holy of holies n god never changed his commandment. So get all this sorted out. Priests bishops n cardinals doing as they please n taking millions into hell. Btw the apostles were born again christians n not catholics. This is a fact tht the vatican cannot deny

    The validity of the mass doesn't depend on whether the priest has mortal sin or not but the Code of Canon Law does state that "_a person who is conscious of mortal sin should not celebrate Mass or receive the body of the LORD..._" "_A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to celebrate Mass or receive the body of the Lord without previous sacramental confession unless there is a grave reason and there is no opportunity to confess; in this case the person is to remember the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition which includes the resolution of confessing as soon as possible_" (Canon 916). (Note: I found this citation from the website I will link below) The priest is a minister but Christ is the one at work in the sacraments. Its the work and power of Christ that transforms the bread into the body and blood of Christ. " _Celebrated worthily in faith, the sacraments confer the grace that they signify. They are efficacious because in them Christ himself is at work: it is he who baptizes, he who acts in his sacraments in order to communicate the grace that each sacrament signifies. The Father always hears the prayer of his Son's Church which, in the epiclesis of each sacrament, expresses her faith in the power of the Spirit. As fire transforms into itself everything it touches, so the Holy Spirit transforms into the divine life whatever is subjected to his power._" (Catechism of the Catholic Church Second Edition, Paragraph 1127) (Note: I also found this cited in the website that I will also link below the first one.) and in paragraph 1128 it says that Christ and his Spirit acts in and through the sacrament independently of the holiness of the minister. ""_....It follows that "the sacrament is not wrought by the righteousness of either the celebrant or the recipient, but by the power of God." From the moment that a sacrament is celebrated in accordance with the intention of the Church, the power of Christ and his Spirit acts in and through it, independently of the personal holiness of the minister..._"" (Catechism of the Catholic Church Second Edition, Paragraph 1128) (Note: Also cited by the author on the first website below) The author of the article in the second website listed below brought up what St. Augustine said: “_As for the proud minister, he is to be ranked with the devil. Christ’s gift is not thereby profaned: what flows through him keeps its purity, and what passes through him remains clear and reaches the fertile earth…. The spiritual power of the sacrament is indeed comparable to light: those to be enlightened receive it in its purity, and if it should pass through defiled beings, it is not itself defiled._” (In Ioannis evangelium tractatus, 5, 15) (Note: the author already cited this, I just placed it here so that you can see.) So whether the minister is in mortal sin or not, the spiritual power of the sacrament is not defiled. So yea hopefully that clears it up. Thanks be to the LORD for the internet and access to websites :D References: 1. "Priest and Mass in mortal sin" by Father Kenneth Doyle: www.thebostonpilot.com/article.php?ID=186492 2.

    @@wildcard4552 there are no words such as CATHOLIC OR CATHOLIC CHURCH in the entire bible. The apostles were born again christians, a term tht scares the vatican. None of the apostles were catholic. Also none of the apostles were pedophiles, sodomites drunks, porn watchers n cocaine users. N none of the apostles owned gay bars in the vicinity of their homes, as what is found around the vatican. Also pls read the OT. See how the OT priests had to sanctify themselves before going into the most holy place. Today pedophiles, sodomites, drunks n porn watchers can change bread into the real body of Christ. So insane. Btw the rcc is not of God so no one in his right mind need to read n obey the catechism of this false church. The bible is the word of God yet all Catholics ignore n disobey God's laws n God's commands. Got it,?
