Can. 917 A person who has already received the Most Holy Eucharist can receive it a second time on the same day only within the eucharistic celebration in which the person participates, without prejudice to the prescript of ⇒ can. 921, §2.
(Can. 921 deals with those in danger of death receiving Holy Communion.)
Note that under Can. 917, the second Communion has to be received “within the eucharistic celebration in which the person participates” - in other words, at a Mass.
My sincere gratitude for this response. With this information, I will
encourage other “retirees” to duplicate my Christmas Day experience as
often as possible.
