Father Mike Schmitz presents, “Can Someone Be Denied Holy Communion?.”
Sometimes we can be tricked into thinking that the Holy Communion we receive at Mass every Sunday is somehow owed to us; that we have a right to receive it. However, the Eucharist, which is Jesus Christ’s own body and blood, is a divine gift bestowed upon us by our Heavenly Father. And because it’s a gift, the way we receive it and the state of our souls matter greatly to our relationship with God. Which begs the question: can someone be denied Holy Communion?
We would like to thank Father Schmitz and everyone at Ascension for allowing us to share these faith-filled messages.
