When should you not receive Holy Communion?
Therefore, anyone who is conscious of having committed an actual mortal sin, and who has not yet been to confession, generally cannot receive Holy Communion. (For a grave reason, and if such a person is repentant, he may say an act of perfect contrition, returning him to a state of grace, and then receive Communion.)
How do I get a blessing instead of communion?
When in doubt, sit it out. You can remain seated as others leave their pews and line up, or, if you accidentally find yourself following the herd to the altar, simply cross your hands over your heart. Rather than offering you Communion, the priest will give you a blessing, for which everyone is eligible.
How do I not receive communion?
The most appropriate way to refuse Communion during the Eucharistic portion of the mass is to remain in the pew. Typically, members of the congregation stand, exit the pew in the center, receive Communion at the front of the church, then circle around to re-enter the pew from the other side.
