Current Events > I been going to mass the past 3 months but last week, didn't receive communion

(+) Yeah! (+)

So I received it for the first few months but then I read that it's like sacrilege or something to receive communion while in the state of mortal sin, and I still haven't went to confession yet (It's been 20+ years), so last Sunday I didn't receive, but then noticed like 99% of everyone did go up and got it, I was more in the back pews, but I still felt stupid.

Do you think people noticed? Is it bad I did that and if I just go this weekend to confession then start receiving again, would people forget that?

I don't even know why I am so concerned over being judged, its not like I talk much to the other people that go to church (Tho I am single in my late 30s, so I wouldn't mind if a woman of interest happened)

Ugh, there's gonna be so much paperwork at the Vatican about this

Now we don't get a new saint in Brussels, all because TC doesn't want to eat his Christ in a Cracker

Hail Satan!

Ffs TC.

I had some good money on a new saint that I was going to feed hungry children with. Guess they'll starve now.

Thanks.

Not!

Even if they noticed it's not a big deal. Back when I was going to church I would see folks not stand up for communion as well and it's fine.

when does the magic happen

Thanks, I go to a Catholic Church.

It has helped by the way going back, but I know most here will just laugh.

Christianity is just another thing one can doing it wrong, so it's not really for me

An Anglican church I had to go to allowed you to cross.your arms at communion and receive a blessing.

Non believers, the unbaptized, etc.

I stayed in the pew and had all the little.kids asking their parents why I wouldn't go. It was great.

As a non-Catholic who has attended Mass, if you feel awkward staying in the pew while everyone else goes up to receive communion, you can always get in the line to go up and then cross your arms over your body when you get to the front of the line. That will signal to the priest to not give you the sacrament, and he will do a little blessing on you instead.

As nice thanks. Yea I probably will be receiving tho. I just will want the sins of the past 20+ years forgiven first. (And look I ain't gonna pretend I am a saint, nor will I be)
