How would I like my reception of Communion to mature?


How would I like my reception of Communion to mature?

To mature in your reception of Communion, focus on deepening your spiritual connection to Christ and understanding the profound significance of the sacrament. This involves both preparation before receiving and reflection afterward, according to Catholic365.com

Here are some ways to mature your reception:

  1. Preparation and Reflection: To deepen your reception, prepare spiritually before Mass by examining your conscience and praying. Reflect on the meaning of the Eucharist through prayer, such as the Anima Christi, or by studying scripture related to the "bread of life," like John 6:35-58. Some may also choose to fast for at least an hour beforehand. After receiving Communion, spend time in silent prayer, expressing gratitude and considering an intention for the week.

  2. Approach with Reverence: Approach the altar with humility and acknowledge the presence of Christ with reverence. Consider bowing deeply or genuflecting before receiving. Saying "Amen" with faith acknowledges your belief in the real presence of Christ.

  3. Ongoing Connection and Understanding: Continue your spiritual growth by maintaining regular prayer, engaging with your faith community, and reading spiritual materials. Deepen your understanding of the Eucharist by attending Mass frequently and studying relevant Scripture and Church teachings, such as 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Participating in Eucharistic Adoration can also increase your desire to receive Communion. 

By focusing on preparation, reverence, and continued learning, you can mature your reception of Communion and allow its grace to enrich your life.
