If it was only permitted under certain circumstances that wouldn't the actual Canon law say that? The old discipline was to recieve only once except in special circumstances, and it seems to me, and many priests, that the new discipline is that one may recieve twice in one day if one would like(as long as the second time is in Holy Mass).

How many times we receive communion seems to be a law thing not a doctrinal thing. <br /><br />Immensae caritas says, " But the oblation of the sacrifice is multiplied in several masses, and therefore the effect of the sacrifice and of the sacrament is multiplied." What if I go to two different Catholic Churches for mass in the same day? I will hear a different homily and probably sing different hymns. The liturgical calender repeats itself. Does this mean that when we come back to the same readings it's the same mass so I get no more grace? If it were just a matter of digesting Jesus I could digest Him once and receive Him later again the same day.<br /><br />.....I need clarification......

While the Code is one source of the Church's law, it is not the only source of the Church's law. Immensae Caritatis is still in vigore (cf. Can. 2 of the present Code). <br /><br />Finally, it is important to read the Code within a "Hermeneutic of Continuity" apropos the entire theological and juridical tradition of the Church. (cf. Can 6. 4 § 2)<br /><br />This whole question is treated quite thoroughly by the Gratian Series Commentary on the Code of Canon Law from the University of Navarre.<br /><br />As for those asking about their particular situations, I would only repeat what I said in the post; if your situation doesn't fall within those mentioned in Immensae Caritatis then it is best not to receive a second time during a day unless there is a faculty for the specific situation given by the Local Ordinary. It is the intensity of our charity and openness to God that makes the Sacrament fruitful in our lives, not the number of times we receive on a given day. My advice would be to prepare yourself for Mass by a life of prayer and charity and receive the Lord Jesus with great love and devotion once a day and only twice when permitted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-10315081242525162202011-07-22T07:40:58.999-07:002011-07-22T07:40:58.999-07:00I am the Catholic Church Pipe Organist, and I play...I am the Catholic Church Pipe Organist, and I play for two Masses on Sunday morning....with an hour break of coffee, between the Masses.<br />I guess since I have been drinking coffee right before the next Mass which I'm playing for, this would exempt me from receiving communion for the 2nd Mass...<br />I think I answered my own question.

But the Code of Canon Law is now in force, trumping the more restrictive norm of Immensae Caritatis. The Code expanded the permission without any other qualification than that the second reception of Holy Communion be at Mass (not counting the very special situation of viaticum in danger of death, which is always permitted). The kind of Mass it is no longer factors in.<br /><br />While anyone proposing to receive the Eucharist ought to examine his/her conscience as to proper motivation, of course, the law of the Church now permits ordinary reception twice a day.Pachusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-78619201526189009912011-07-22T00:53:10.392-07:002011-07-22T00:53:10.392-07:00Under normal circumstances, wouldn't the litur...Under normal circumstances, wouldn't the liturgy for a christian be celebrated only once, with the rest of the Holy Hours filling in the liturgical day?Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670360109098788884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-66206854037433038432011-07-21T23:23:40.808-07:002011-07-21T23:23:40.808-07:00Alright, I am a minister of sacred music at my par...Alright, I am a minister of sacred music at my parish here in Nashville.
