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? Fr. Mike explains whether communion is a gift that can be taken away, and what that means for public figures who openly support practices against the Church, like abortion.

Fr. Edward Meeks presents his congregation with the most important question in human history when Jesus said, "Who do you say that I am?"

During a forceful sermon given at the National Blue Army Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima earlier this month, Burke remarked that there is a “practical apostasy” taking place in the Church. He also said that it’s a “scandal” for Catholic politicians who attack Church teachings to present themselves for Holy Communion. “The Bishops rightly seek to safeguard the sanctity of the Holy Eucharist” in order to “prevent the faithful from committing sacrilege by the unworthy reception of the Holy Eucharist,” he said. They want to “stop the scandal caused by Catholic politicians” who “obstinately persist in promoting legislation in violation of the most fundamental truths of the moral law.”
