How many times a day is a catholic permitted to receive Holy
Communion?
Every qualified
catholic is obliged to receive Holy Communion frequently especially at Easter.
However, the Code of Canon Law states that “One who has received the blessed
Eucharist may receive it again on the same day only within a Eucharistic celebration
[Mass] in which that person participates, without prejudice to the provision of
canon 921 §2″ (CIC 917). “Even if they have already received Holy Communion
that same day, it is nevertheless strongly suggested that in danger of death
they should communicate again” (CIC 921 §2). Thus, at present, one may receive
Holy Communion a second time on the same day, but only on the occasion of
participating in a Mass except such a person is at danger of death.
