Communion at Home

For the last while I've been ill and have been fortunate enough to receive communion at home.  Communion at home is something I take very seriously and have a hard time resigning to not being able to Sunday attend mass.  I've had to learn that it is not a sign of weakness, but a reality of a necessity.  You can't make your body do something it is not able.  Because in many cases it will make the situation worse.  So patience I learn and learn again.

I've researched the subject "Receiving Communion at Home" and came across a wonderful website with good information for the patient/parishioner.  Instead of paraphrasing the article, here's a link for your viewing:  
http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/resources/prayers/circumstantial-prayers-and-blessings/communion-of-the-sick/   

St. Francis de Sales once wrote: “The Prayer of the sick person is his patience and his acceptance of his sickness for the love of Jesus Christ. Make sickness itself a prayer, for there is none more powerful, save [except] martyrdom!”
