1) Can a Catholic receive communion at Sunday Mass without having been to confession?
Yes and no. It is assumed that Catholics go to confession at least once every six months. You may not receive communion if confession has been lately, but only if it has not incurred mortal sin since their last confession. If you've been baptized, for example, you may never have confessed before, but the baptism removes the stain of every sin, and therefore are in a state of grace and there
2) I also know that it can not receive communion, but I'm still a little sure why.
Communion in the Catholic church is a sacramental … and is the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ. As such, a person must be properly prepared to take communion, or who are committing sacrilage, which in itself is a mortal sin. The reasons a person can not take communion without being properly disposed of are two: first, protection of the Body and Blood of Christ, and secondly to protect the person from committing sin.
3) What can I do to be eligible to receive communion
First, you must complete RCIA instruction or private. Talk to your local priest to determine which method is better. You must be baptized and you should have no mortal sin. You do not have to be confirmed to take communion.
4) What is the difference between being confirmed and communes?
There is no such thing as "being common." Taking the Eucharist is a sacrament by which consuming the body and blood of the Lamb Sacraficial, meeting the requirements of the final Passover sacrifice. It also living outside of Christ command to eat his Body and Blood.
Confirmation, like baptism, is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Christ says in the Bible that we must be reborn of water and the Spirit, which is what this second part. Represents confirmation of the entry of the Holy Spirit in our lives is the point that a Catholic (should be) fully trained in the life of faith. It is not, however, the end point of the spiritual conversion, as we are called to live and grow in faith throughout our lives
Catholics can receive the Eucharist when we are in a state of grace. This means that if we committed a mortal sin that can not get up to go to Confession.
I do not know why you can not receive communion yet - I'm afraid I do not have enough information. If you tell me what your situation is, then I can explain in more detail.
In general, a person must be baptized and educated about Christ and His work on the cross before that person may receive Holy Communion.
In general, the Western Rite Catholic churches that baptize our children as soon as possible, give them an education, and as soon as they are old enough to understand the concepts of sin, forgiveness, absolution, confession and penance, making his first confession, and his First Communion. After that - for some years, perhaps - was confirmed. Baptism is the beginning of his initiation into the Catholic expression of Christianity, and is the final confirmation of it.
The old way would be to baptize and confirm a person and then give them their First Communion and after that regularly make their confessions. I think the Diocese of Phoenix is doing in this way these days.
Adults who are converting to Catholicism usually do it the old way. Are baptized and confirmed, then get their First Communion in a single night. Confession comes later. Or, if you were baptized, to make a confession and then confirm and obtain their First Communion at a time.
So, you see, it is common to be prepared to receive the Eucharist, and that was confirmed is the last step of initiation into the Catholic Church.
In Catholic teaching, the sacrament of Penance (commonly called Confession, Penance or Reconciliation) is the method given by Christ to the Church which men and women can be freed from sins committed after receiving Baptism. (It is not necessary to confess sins committed before baptism as baptism itself is considered to remove the guilt of all past sins.) This sacrament is known by many names, including penance, reconciliation, and confession ( Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 1423-1442). Official publications of the Church of Latin rite always refer to the sacrament as "Penance," or "reconciliation" or "Penance and Reconciliation." However, many lay Catholics continue to use the term "confession" in reference to the sacrament.
In 1215, the requirement that all Catholic Christians to receive this sacrament at least once a year was instituted in Canon 21, the famous "Omnis utriusque sexus" of Canon Law at the Fourth Council of the Lateran.
Confession is a sacrament of the Church that is deeply missed. Why? Because it requires, first, to examine our conscience and I feel sorry for our sins. Of the two types of sin - mortal and venial - only when we make the unfortunate mistake of committing mortal sin we are obliged to confess before receiving Holy Communion. Thus, the mortal sin in our soul is what is forbidden to approach Catholics and receive Holy Communion. But they are often guilty of many venial sins, and though they do not prevent us from receiveing Holy Communion may be confessed. It is sometimes difficult to know whether it was a venial or mortal sin, so it is better to confess and let the priest decide.
There is a place called Purgatory, where the Catholics who have not made sufficient restitution, while on earth, his mortal and venial sins, or are detained. If God has deemed it necessary to create a place it should be obvious benefits to confess venial sins, even with prompt and perform the penance assigned.
But we must not be indifferent to confess our sins and for which we have done our penance … for penance assigned is often only a guide for us and we should always pray and make sacrifices in reparation for our sins … and both confessed that they too often fail to recall or value as sinful.
When we left the confessional, after making a good confession with true contrition of our heart, we should be filled with joy knowing that our friendship with God, has been restored … we have been absolved of blame for our sins. Now we are ready to receive the spiritual food and drink for our souls in Holy Communion.
Most of the time we approach the sacrament of Confession, less saturated and that our conscience will be easier to remember the sins we have committed. Not to remember the sins, particularly small venial sins, may very well stop the fire of purgatory … that are not different from the fires of hell, except the fact that they are timeless.
you should have only the sacrament of confirmation and first communion. but I never had my first communion, so whatever. I confirmed when I was 17, so it's a little late for that.
Her confession directly to God. Receive communion directly from God in the form of (their) food … Even their priests tasty compared to what their parishioners are giving …

I think we can have communion, and I do anyway. He was only meant to go to confession once a month I think.
