Friend is divorced; should I not bring him to Mass?

[Jafar]

I have a friend who is muslim.
He is also divorced.
He is interested in Christianity but I hesitate to bring him to catholic church because
eventually he will be always deprived to participate in communion

What should I do?

Hi,

Better to not be so defensive. Let him see what we have. It the greatest gift we have. But one must have the gift of faith to appreciate it. Explain that we have to prepare ourselves to receive the Lord in this way. First all, we must believe that He is God and so much else. Also we must be in the state of grace.

He is not a Catholic or even a Christian as this time. If he should decide to become a Catholic, then he may receive. He is not likely to expect to act like a Catholic when he is a Muslim.
