i went to mass as usual yesterday. then at a wake later, there was mass again. different places but same priest! -> the one who usually celebrates the sunday mass i attend regularly.
i've already received Holy Communion in the earlier mass and ignorant me didn't know whether you're allowed to take more than one in a day. to be safe, i abstained. i wasn't sure whether the priest would recognize me but i was afraid if he did and you're supposed to have only one then he might not give me a host when i show up on the queue... :"(
anyway, after the mass, i approached the priest. and yes, he said he recognized me. i asked whether you can take communion more than once in a day.
he replied you're actually supposed to take communion every time you attend mass as it completes the mass for you.
ouch! so my second mass was incomplete!
<sigh>
i know better now...
