I mentioned in an earlier post/question that I was a returning Catholic and was seeking advice about going to confession after not attending for ~30 years. I received great advice and information which I am grateful for.
My new question pertains to receiving communion after confession. I did my examination of conscience and I did go to confession this past Tuesday. I did my penance that same night, and I am going to Mass on Sunday.
My dilemma is that I still do not feel worthy enough to receive and fear that if I do I will be committing another sin. Is this a normal feeling and if so, how would I overcome this problem?
I was told that when I did confess I would feel a great weight lifted off my chest. I cannot say that I did. I felt better, but not happy or relieved. Which also makes me wonder if I did something wrong.
I can’t receive communion until I figure this out. I want to, but can’t.
Thank you in advance.
