First Holy Communion

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION

“So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; or my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.”
John 6:53-56
- The Church's Vision
  
  First Holy Communion is a Sacrament of Initiation, through which a person receives the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, truly and substantially present, in the consecrated Bread and Wine. The recipient must: be a baptized Catholic, attain the age of reason (usually seven years old), have received the Sacrament of Penance, fast from food and drink one hour before reception, and be in a state of grace.
