because it is not a sacrament, we are not aloud to receive any sacrament in mortal sin…spiritual communion is the desire to receive Holy Communion, and if you notice in most prayer books for the mass, it will tell you at the point of Communion, that those who cannot receive at that time should make a spiritual communion…so yes it’s okay and good to make a spiritual communion in the state of mortal sin, and recommended by the church.I was just wondering, why is it alright to make a Spiritual Communion when in mortal sin? (though it is not alright to receive Communion in mortal sin… in fact that is a great mortal sin in itself). I realize they are different, but why is it okay to make a Spiritual Communion in mortal sin? (and… is it?)
thanks!
