I am a practising Catholic and have received all the sacraments of the church. I however do not fulfil the sacrament of reconciliation due to fear. I know this is a sin (not to go for confession). How do I overcome this fear and return to all sacraments?
Why is the Eucharist so important to Catholics?
What actually happens during the Eucharist?
What are the main symbols used during the Eucharist?
Can God still in today's world full of lawlessness and all human weakness intervene? Is this not the same God who spoke through the apostles ,the prophets and great saints in history,can he not understand our human existence?
Why do Catholics celebrate the Eucharist?
Is there a minimal age for one to become an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion? What other criteria is there?
Why do Catholics have a Saturday night Mass?
Is there a Christian community I can join to strenghten my Christian walk?
Is it biblical to venerate Mother Mary and why does the Catholic church emphasise on this more than the Protestant churches. Are we worshiping Mary and why do we present our petitions through her when the Bible says that Jesus is our High priest.....
Is it wrong to carry the Blessed Sacrament from the church?
     Thank you for your kind question. You ask whether a Catholic can take communion at home or not. Well, the Canon Law is very clear in this regard. The Canon No. 910 says: “The ordinary minister of the Eucharist is a Bishop, a priest or a deacon. The extraordinary minister of holy communion is an acolyte, or another of Christ’s faithful deputed to it.” Therefore nobody is allowed to take home the Blessed Sacrament though with a good intention. Not even a priest is allowed to take the Blessed Sacramnent to his house, much less to his room.

Yours in Christ
