In this episode we read the Catechism concerning the reception of the Eucharist. Although canon law has changed the requirements concerning fast and abstinence before receiving the Eucharist it is instructive to read the stricter laws that were in place in the sixteenth century as they reflect the sort of disposition that Catholics should have in receiving the Eucharist. We also take a look at three articles from the Summa Theologica concerning the reception of this sacrament. (ST. IIIa. Q. 80 a. 1, a. 2, a. 10)
