Why do you think that swallowing your saliva prevented you from receiving Holy Communion? From this and your other question, it seems that you are perhaps dealing with some scrupulosity.Hi, I was at mass recently. About 35mins prior to Holy Communion, I cut my gum and I think it was bleeding a tiny bit. I was in the Church so I didn’t want to spit, so I swallowed my saliva. I later went to Holy Communion and I was wondering if I sinned??
You’re rite, but It’s not swallowing one’s saliva which is the problem but the fact I think I tasted blood and swallowed it.Why do you think that swallowing your saliva prevented you from receiving Holy Communion?

This is amusing :sad_yes:But it was still YOU. It wasn’t food.
“One who is to receive the Most Holy Eucharist is to abstain from any food or drink, with the exception of water and medicine, for at least the period of one hour before Holy Communion.”
