I go to church weekly or sometimes twice a week, but when i haven't had confession i don't line up and take the communion because it's a grave sin to take the Holy Eucharist without confessing.
How about you? Do you accept communion without confessing your sins?

As a Protestant, we don't have to confess our sins to a pastor, just to God. Some Protestant churches have communion each week, some have once a month or once a quarter. Ours has no set timeframe for when communion will be held. Often we have it at church dinners, rather than during our worship service...much like the Last Supper.
At our church, any believer can take communion, no matter whether he/she is a Roman Catholic, or any denomination of Protestant. Being a Christian is the only requirement, and even then the pastor isn't looking for credentials. He figures God know.

My grandparents are protestants too. I became a catholic because we followed our father's religion. I've attended protestant services/masses and it's fun to be there. Sometimes there are plays adn choirs in front just to sing for those who attended. 
I like it specially when christmas comes around. We wake up early then buy bibingka ("filipino delicacy") on our way home. I miss that now. I wish we could still spend Christmas here in the Philippines because we're following our father to abroad. 
I'll miss my grandma and bibingka.

Well I haven't for a long time now because I haven't gone to confession yet. Also I don't want to add another sin to my previous ones that's why I don't take communion anymore. Maybe only after I gone to confession only then I would take it again. Also I always take Jesus in my heart so I think I really don't lack that much.

Actually I know I have Jesus always in my heart but making these sins make me so guilty. There's this healing priest Fr. Faller who heals. Through him God forgives us and without even undergoing the sacrament in the manner we knew, he just makes us kneel and pray wiht all our hearts. make us surrender our sins to God and then he says we are healed. That's the last confession I've had. Hope he comes home soon here in the Philippines 'cause he's gone to abroad to heal more people. That's his calling.
