Fr. Finigan looks at “routine” Communions
His Hermeneuticalness, my friend the soon-to-be-moving Fr. Tim Finigan has a great post on an important topic. HERE
He brings up the point of receiving Holy Communion in such a way that it becomes “routine”.
I suggest that people examine their consciences thoroughly when preparing for Communion. Really look at your state of soul.
Also, use Spiritual Communions.
The other day in Louisville I spoke for a while about practicing what we need to do to develop virtues. I think the same can apply to preparing to receive Communion: we can ready ourselves through Spiritual Communions, which can be made at anytime and anywhere, and also by those who are unable to receive for one reason or another.
