Water before Communion?

[dixieagle]

Is it so difficult to plan ahead? If you have to drive to church and wait through most of the mass for communion then almost certainly an hour has passed. You can go to the end of the line to make sure. If you know you are going to mass it seems logical not to exercise just before it. Besides that, in the US, a little thirst never kills anyone. No it isn’t breaking the fast to have water, but I remember the olden days when friends said they had to fast from midnight I think without water but I’m not sure.

Feel free to refrain from water as long as you want. However, it is not your place to suggest that those who follow the Church’s own laws are not doing as much as they should. It is also not your place to suggest when someone should exercise; exercise is a way of caring for the bodies God has given us - temples of the Holy Spirit.
