FiereMargriet Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 If I know that I am not going to be receiving the Eucharist at Mass, do I still have to keep the one-hour fast before what would be the time when everyone else receives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 If you know that you are not going to be receiving, you do not [b][i]have[/i][/b] to keep the fast. I often tell my RCIA students that they can take part in the fast even before entering the church because there is communion of desire, and feeling hungry before entering mass is a feeling that should be embraced. We never have to fast, we are given the opportunity to fast. I'd be more concerned with why you aren't receiving than the communion fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
