Fasting before Communion

[Roald]

Well, it's not like it's that much time. Average 15 minutes drive time. 30 minutes on Liturgy of the Word. Equals 45 minutes. That would mean don't eat 15 minutes before you leave the house.

That reminds me of back home. The drive is over 30 minutes (not a heavily Catholic locale), and we have to get there early to avoid sitting behind a giant column and to give my mother time to get up the steps. I have finished eating just before leaving the house.

Dear Auntie or Aunty Deborah,

Lets just thank God that you did come to truth, so don't ever feel lousy again ok?
God waits for everyone I reckon!
I do know how you feel though, as, although a cradle Catholic, I have only just really started to believe that I have "found the truth". And I can't help but feel "lousy" about the wasted years.

Your loving nephew,

Daniel

PS You know I'll be expecting birthday and Christmas presents now!

Sorry this thread seems to be all over the place!

Thanks for you replies though, even the one about the falling trees......I think iiiiiiiitt.......... DOES make a noise! Am I right?

I personally leave at least an hour before the start of mass for fasting. I can think of nothing worse than turning up to receive Our Lord having just eaten a curry or something.

Exactly, except...what's a curry?

What's a curry! Don't you have curries is America!! A curry is a traditional British dish. Made by Indians.

And unless you enjoy food that hurts you, it is best left alone! It can be very, very spicey.

So spicey in fact, you would climb over your own grandmother to get a glass of water. I don't really know why people eat it, I think it stinks!
