Communion Fast


Dave

Recommended Posts

I had a late lunch today, and I finished eating at 5:54pm. Then I headed to the 6:30pm Mass. I know that we're supposed to fast an hour before the moment of receiving Communion. Well, all during Mass I was looking at my watch, and when it was Communion time, it wasn't 6:54pm but rather 6:52 or so. That meant I had only fasted for 58 minutes. I didn't know if I should receive Communion or not; part of me thought I shouldn't, but part of me thought I was just being silly (sometimes I have moments of scrupulosity). Finally, when I couldn't tarry in indecision any more, I told myself, "Dave, you're being stupid!" and received. But afterward I started to worry again that maybe I'd done the wrong thing, and as a result, when I should've been thanking God, I was worrying instead. So in a nutshell, was my Communion sacrilegious?
