Taking the Eucharist if Sick

[red_eye_chimera]

If one is sick, should he/ she recieve Eucharist?

 

[Leopard]

Yes, provided he is properly disposed.

 

[SuscipeMeDomine]

If one is sick, should he/ she recieve Eucharist?

I would avoid receiving the Precious Blood so that I wouldn’t spread my illness.

 

[Phemie]

It depends on what you mean by sick.

If I feel nauseated I avoid going to Communion to avoid the consequences of vomiting after receiving. Otherwise, I receive, but I do abstain from the chalice if I’m contagious with a cold, sore throat or cold sore.

 

[PhilotheaZ]

If one is sick, should he/ she recieve Eucharist?

Not if he/she is likely to vomit. Otherwise, yes.

If the illness is contagious, take prudent precautions to prevent spreading the illness (e.g., not receiving from the chalice; staying home from church if the sickness spreads readily).
