Purpose Of The Communion Rite
- The Communion Rite aims to dispose the faithful to receive Christ worthily through preparation rites.
- Proper disposition requires freedom from mortal sin and openness to be transformed by the Eucharist.
Don't Receive In Mortal Sin
- Avoid receiving Communion in a state of mortal sin because it can harm rather than heal spiritually.
- Go to confession first and approach Communion with contrition and readiness to be transformed.
Three Preparatory Elements
- The three preparation elements are the Lord's Prayer, the Rite of Peace, and the Fraction, each disposing recipients differently.
- Their common goal is to free from sin, reconcile with neighbors, and unite the assembly before Communion.
