Communion before Confession

You can take the communion as long as your conscience is clear and you know you haven't committed some deadly sins. Communion is a celebration, a remembrance of Jesus Christ, and should be participated in whenever possible. You can ask God for forgiveness directly in silent prayer before partaking in the communion.

I heard some beliefs of that too. And I think even if you have committed deadly sins, as long as you pray God for forgiveness and is ready to be forgiven you are allowed. I do take communion even if I don't confess, because I pray to God for forgiveness even though sometimes I feel guilty of not being able to confess.

Oops... thats one of me. I have not been to confession for ages though I frequently take the holy communion. Does that make me a sinner? Deep inside me I feel that as long as I did not go against The Ten Commandments I be able to take the communion. I know it is not right but I feel uneasy to go for confession. I do ask forgiveness from God through prayers.

I never take holy communion when i am in the state of sin. That would be sacrilege. True, even here in the philipppines, catholics take it even though they are in the state of sin. Why do i know? Well, showbiz people take it even though they have affairs outside marriage. and the funny thing about this though, is that, priests or the lay ministers find it awkward to deny a communicant even though the world knows that the communicant is a sinner. Some are even very obvious, there are those ladies who wear micro mini skirts and strappy blouses in church and they still take communion! It may not be a grave sin though but the church requires that one be in proper decorum and dress when inside the church. Micro mini skirts on ladies speak so much of their character. I am not judging but if you really are a decent person, would you wear something like that inside a worship place and even dare receive christ in communion? That is a sign of obvious disrespect and sacrilege. I am not a perfect person but at least i know my catechism.
