Confession Before Communion By Paul Turner
“Lord, I am not worthy to receive you,” we say. Then we go to communion anyway. However, some Catholics stay in the pew. Others slink out of church when the communion procession forms. Some feel genuinely unworthy to receive their Lord. In the not-too-distant past, people went to confession before every communion, and many received communion only rarely. People s ll abstain from the Eucharist if they judge their sins grave. Is confession required before every communion? No. In fact, the only sins that should keep us from communion and that we are obliged to confess are those called “serious.” Which ones are those? We don’t exactly have a list. It’s a judgment call with the penitent and the confessor, so you’ll hear many interpreta ons of serious sin from priests and people alike. In previous centuries serious sin governed so many cases that few people received communion regularly, but that is not the case today. How do we interpret the expression? The church calls some ac ons “intrinsically evil” - behaviors so bad that they are always wrong. Va can II includes among them offenses such as homicide, genocide, abor on, euthanasia, suicide; mu la on, physical and mental torture, a empts to coerce the spirit; subhuman living condi ons, arbitrary imprisonment, deporta on, slavery, pros tu on and trafficking in women and children; and degrading condi ons of work that treat laborers as mere instruments of profit and not as free, responsible persons. These offenses form a basis for figuring out which sins require confession before communion. Although confession is not required before every communion, it o en precedes in church prac ce. Most parishes offer confessions on Saturday before communion on Sunday. Children preparing for first communion also prepare for first confession. Although the church does not oblige us to confess lesser sins, those who use the sacrament will find their communion more frui ul.

The Last Supper and Other Suppers with the Lord
This week, many will be gather with friends, family, and neighbors to celebrate Thanksgiving Day. While the preparation of one of the biggest meals of the year can be overwhelming and stressful, let us not forget the true gift of sharing a meal with loved ones. And for those whose loved ones are far, or have passed on, let us recall our Heavenly Father’s abundant and perfect love.
In preparation for Thanksgiving, take time to read about the many times our Lord broke bread with companions, sinners, and saints. And let us pray that each of us would receive God’s grace to warmly welcome at our table the people whom the Lord has graciously placed in our lives.
by Allan F. Wright
I often ask people to reminisce about the most significant meal they have ever eaten. It is never the food that makes the most impact in their memory but the people around the table.
Whatever the occasion, whatever the cultural norm dictates, it rings true to human experience that meals bring us together.
Jesus’ Middle Eastern culture was one in which only those considered family would be welcomed around the table. The people one dined with defined the boundaries of one’s relationships.
There are no fewer than 58 references to food, eating, hunger, or meals in the Gospel of Luke alone! In fact, Jesus is so involved with sharing his teachings and enjoying the fellowship of sinners around the table that he is accused of being “a glutton and a drunkard” (Luke 7:34).
The meal Jesus shares with Zacchaeus the tax collector (Luke 19) is a sign that repentance has taken place and that a celebration is required despite the murmurings of the crowd.
When Jesus enters Simon’s house as a guest in Luke chapter 7, he is not given any basic gesture of hospitality by Simon. Jesus, however, allows a repentant, sinful woman to offer a costly demonstration of unexpected love at his feet.
Jesus takes this opportunity to teach Simon by way of a parable during the meal. Jesus is correcting Simon’s self-righteousness by conveying the simple message that if the Son of Man cannot dine with sinners he will not eat with Simon either, since all are sinners.
In the parable of the Prodigal Son, the celebration begins in the home. A fatted calf could feed up to 75 people; the message here is that it is a community celebration of the father who welcomes his son back with open arms. The father takes the initiative with the younger son and goes out to welcome him home with peace. The father also goes out to invite the older son as well. The family is not complete until the older son accepts his seat around the table.
2
Jesus would not use his miraculous power to feed himself when he was hungry and tempted by Satan, but when he sees the hunger of the 5,000, he multiplies the loaves and fish so that others are fed.
The Last Supper too is a way for Jesus to share his very life around the table with friends. This significant event was not lost on the early Christians, who gathered around the table to share in the Eucharist (1 Corinthians 11).
Likewise, it was during a meal around a simple table in a home that the disciples’ eyes were opened to the risen Lord in their midst.
Sharing a meal can be difficult in our fast-paced world. Often our vehicles have more cup holders than we have place settings for our dining room tables! Nonetheless, sharing food can still bring a family, community, and friends together. Like Jesus, they too can share their lives—their stories, hopes, and joys—by the simple act of sharing a meal.
