Question:  How many times can you receive Communion in one day?

Answer: 

Dear Sarah,

Thanks for your question. Ordinarily, there is no limit. If you go to more than one mass in a day, you should receive at each mass. Of course, the mindset of "if I go to two masses I will get twice as much communion, twice as much grace, and be much holier" should be avoided!

Have a blessed Lenten season,
Father Robert
