How much is too much?

[BCven86]

Is there a limit to how many times we can receive communion in a day? Can we receive communion both on the Saturday Vigil Mass and a Sunday Mass? I just have no idea and I thought the fact that the readings are the same might be relevant. Thanks!

I believe the limit is twice.

Once for daily Mass and another is allowed for a Novena Service or a Funeral. Or if you attend the Sat. Daily Mass and then the Sun. Vigil.

You can receive at the Vigil and then on Sunday if you wish.

In general the limit is two receptions in one calendar day, but the second reception must be at a Mass in which you participate (or as viaticum).

The Saturday anticipated Mass and Sunday Masses, though usually the same readings and prayers, are two different calendar days, so you may receive at the Saturday anticipated Mass, and then twice on the following day, if you are so moved.

Canon Law:

Can. 917 One who has received the blessed Eucharist may receive it again on the same day only within a eucharistic celebration in which that person participates, without prejudice to the provision of can. 921 §2.

Can. 921 §1 Christ’s faithful who are in danger of death, from whatever cause, are to be strengthened by holy communion as Viaticum.

§2 Even if they have already received holy communion that same day, it is nevertheless strongly suggested that in danger of death they should communicate again.
