Hey MarMar,

Ofcourse we must all be very careful to watch ourselves after we take Holy Communion like dont eat chewy, go swimming, spit etc.

BUt if u spat once off accidently- u obviously cant go down the drain and swallow it up again. However, its not like ur gonna go to hell cos of it...and it wouldnt b a sin as such.

there is not much u can do after the incidence (hopefully God will take care of it)....prevention is the best

God bless

Hey Geraldine...dont worry we are all still learning....

Regarding Holy Communion we believe that it is the TRUE body and blood of Jesus Christ (not just a resemblance or something)- if ur confused let me know and ill try and explain...

Since it is Christ's body it is very Holy and precious so after receiving Holy Communion we must not do anything soon after so that no Body or Blood is lost like eat chewing gum (any remaining Body or Blood may stick to the gum and be throwen in the bin!), go swimming (spit alot of water), brush teeth, spit.....etc.

GERALDINE

Thank you , for explaining that . Yes i realise one is taking part in the Body and Blood of Jesus - but never thought of it from the view - to avoid spitting ( not that it would be a reg. habit) swimmi8ng etc. And how long should a person keep this in mind ?

Thanking you again

Just a note here guys.

All of these guide lines are set as reminders for us not to sin. Our religion is not that of rules and regulations. It is NOT a physical religion. It is FAR more supirior than that. I like to use this example. One of these guidlines is NOT to get hurt on the day of your communion so you don't bleed. What about people who have surgery? they have communion on teh day of thier surgery sometiems? is it wrong? Obviously not.

Remember, teh Letter kills but the spirit gives life. These guidlines are there to remind us that we had communion. You think if you are making sure that you don't spit all day, you gonna curse someone out? Or that you don't go swimming, so you go drinking? That is not the case.

Just wanted to bring that up as well.

GERALDINE

Thank you people a real insight. Some day - with Gods help I will be partaking of this wonderful sacrament.

What u sed is very important coptic boy...its not just physical limitations set by the church like dont spit or swim.....we must try even harder not to swear or fight or think wrong thoughts or commit any wrong deed when we have taken Holy Communion.

Hello,

Well I believe during the Litergy, Abouna asks God to forgive us our sins...those which we have commited knowingly and those which we have committed unknowingly. so no need to fret :).

Take Care & God Bless
