We are cohabitating can we still take communion

[Mayo]

Welcome to the Catholic Church. You have done the right thing.

Your boyfriend is still married in the Eyes of the Catholic Church untill the Annulment is final. Therefore if you are having Sexual Intercourse you are commiting Adultery and you must stop. Do you have any family that you could stay with untill you are married?.
You cannot assume that the annulment will go through. It may not
You can not receive Holy Communion in the state of Mortal Sin. you must go to Confession first.
You also must stop having Sex
You may feel that this is hard for you but it is the truth and since I am giving you advice I have a moral responcibility to try and save your Souls.
Always try and remember life is very short. Eternity is forever.
God Loves us and wants us with Him in Heaven
I went to a retreat at our local Parish one time and the Priest giving it was a Theologin I think and he said somthing that I think we dont always realize and that is that God Loves even when we are commiting sin. THat is how infinite his love for us is.
I hope this has helped you some.

I did not read your thread posted Nov. 7th before responding. As long as you are living as brother and sister you can receive Holy Communion however talk to the Priest and tell him exactly what the situation is and he will advise you.
As long as you know in your Heart and mind that you are not in a state of Mortal sin you can receive that is the bottom line.

Say this prayer daily or several times a day. Most Sacret Heart of Jesus I place all My Trust In You. This is the prayer of dedication to the Sacret Heart
Go to a Catholic Gift Store and get a copy of the Chaplet of Devine Mercy and say it daily
In case because of the Storm and you dont have a store in your area here is the prayer.
Here is the story on the prayer.
In 1933 God gave Sister Faustina a striking vision of his mercy Sister tells us

I saw a great light with God the Father in the midst of it.
Between this light and the Earth I saw Jesus nailed to the Cross
and in such a way that God, wanting to look upon the earth had to look through Our Lords wounds and I understood that God blessed the Earth for the sake of Jesus.
Of another vision on September 13 th 1935 she writes.
I saw an Angel, the executor of God’s wrath… about to strike the earth,I began to beg earnestly for the world with wordswhich I heard interiorly.As I prayed in this way, I saw the Angel’s helplessness and he could not carry out the just punishment.
The following day an inner voice taught her to say this prayer on ordinary Rosary Beads
Begin with the Sign of the Cross
SAy one Our Fatger, Hail Mary and The Aoostales Creed
2 Then on the Our Father Beads say the following
Eternal Father I offer You the Body and Blood Soul and Divinity of your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonMent
for our sins and those of the whole world
3On the ten Hail Mary Beads say the following
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all five decades.
Conclude with three times.
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Say unceasingly this chaplet that I have taught you .Anyone who says it will receive great mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as the last hope. Even the most hardened sinner if he recites this chaplet even once, will receive grace from My Infinite Mercy. I want the whole World to know My Infinite Mercy.I want to give Unimaginable graces to those who trust in My Mercy.
When they say this Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the Dying person not as the just judge but as the Merciful Saviour’’.
