yes.
Not “at least one.” The first can be any venue: Mass, late for Mass, Communion Service, hospital, etc.
Yes you can. You can find it in the Catechism, but if you attend and fully participate in a second mass the next day, you can receive communion.
Yes, but the OP asked about receiving Holy Communion once each on 2 separate days. Of course one may receive the Eucharist every day if one is in the proper spiritual state to do so.
One does not “take” Communion. One receives it.
Hello Judy, I believe the quote from Canon Law already answered that question.
No, it didn’t – that canon talks about receiving twice in the same day. The OP was asking about receiving on two days – Saturday and Sunday.
Forgive me for asking, but just so I understand, are you saying that you may be able to receive Holy Communion twice a day, as stated in the Code of Canon Law, but yet a question still remains as to once a day? Looking at the OP he said, as you stated, receiving on two days, Saturday and Sunday. Just trying to clarify. Another point of clarification is that the Saturday afternoon Mass the OP was referring to typically contains the Sunday readings, since according to Jewish tradition Sunday would begin after sunset on Saturday, so the OP could have been referring to receiving Holy Communion during two Sunday services. Again, please forgive the questions, but I’m trying to understand your response.No, it didn’t – that canon talks about receiving twice in the same day. The OP was asking about receiving on two days – Saturday and Sunday.
The clarification that everyone was aiming toward was making sure that the OP, you, and any other reader understood that the Mass on Saturday, even if it has the Sunday readings and fulfills the obligation, is still Mass on Saturday. Thus, the question is easily answered with a “yes, you may receive” because there are two separate days involved.
In all my years of answering questions, I learned long ago that one does well to simply answer the question posed and stop there…and not run every possible permutation. I am affirmed in that insight by this thread.
Fr. Vincent Serpa (Catholic Answers Apologist) answered this very question back in 2007. He said that it is permissible to receive holy communion at the Sunday Vigil and a Sunday Mass.
It is an option internationally.
The problem is that the ‘conflation’ already exists in people’s minds. If we don’t address it, and they think we’re talking about the one situation (whereas they were really trying to ask about the other), then they walk away with the wrong answer.
