In today’s Gospel, Jesus said to his disci-

ples: “I have come to set the earth on fire,

and how I wish it were already blazing!

There is a baptism with which I must be

baptized, and how great is my anguish until

it be accomplished.” Your gift to the Society

to assist those suffering in poverty will help

set the earth on fire with God’s love.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my

Church for awarding me the Saint Cecilia Scholarship.

It is an honor to represent my Church. This scholar-

ship will help reduce any financial situations and al-

low me to focus on athletics and academics. I will be

attending McKendree University majoring in Criminal

Justice with the hope of joining the Federal Bureau of

Investigation in the future.

Thank you again for investing in my future. I will

make sure to do my best in achieving success in my

education and career goals. I look forward to be able

to give back to my community in the future.

Thank you.

CONFESSION BEFORE COMMUNION

by Paul Turner

“Lord, I am not worthy to receive you,” we

say. Then we go to communion anyway. How-

ever, some Catholics stay in the pew. Others

slink out of church when the communion pro-

cession forms. Some feel genuinely unworthy

to receive their Lord. In the not-too-distant

past, people went to confession before every

communion, and many received communion

only rarely. People will abstain from the

Eucharist if they judge their sins grave. Is con-

fession required before communion? No. In

fact, the only sins which should keep us from

communion and which we are obliged to con-

fess are called “serious.” Which one are those?

We don’t exactly have a list. It’s a judgment

call with the penitent and the confessor, so

you’ll hear many interpretations of serious sin

from priests and people alike. In previous cen-

turies, serious sin governed so many cases that

few people received communion regularly, but

that is not the case today. How do we interpret

the expression? Although confession is not re-

quired before every communion, it often pre-

cedes in church practice. Children preparing

for First Communion also prepare for First

Penance. Although the church does not oblige

us to confess lesser sins, those who use the sac-

rament will find their communion more fruit-

ful.

CATHOLIC INQUIRY

CLASSES

Have you ever been baptized?

Are you an adult Catholic who has

not received Holy Communion or

Confirmation?

Are you a spouse or parent of a

Catholic who would like to share

religious beliefs?

Do you know anyone who might be

interested in becoming a Catholic?
