The Priest is doing the lady a favor - to take communion without due consideration to sin and the state of your soul is not smart!

For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.

1 Corinthians 11:23–30

That's right. I always point out to my RCIA students that the Holy Eucharist is the only Sacrament which comes to us not only with a blessing but with an explicit curse. Really, you dare not receive in mortal sin unless you want to get another mortal sin, the far worse one of sacrilege against the Blessed Sacrament.

I know I received unworthily in decades past, when I was in my late teens and early 20's. I have repented and may God forgive me. One of these days I've got to make a General (Lifetime) Confession.

Thank you. This needs go be said day and night. Priest’s who give communion out like this are enabling judgement upon those who receive it.

Well said mic!

Also...

"Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me." (Romans 7:20)...ipso facto,if I do whatever I would (regarding sin)then it still is me that does it!The point being,I'm still walking hand in hand with that carnal mind..."For to be carnally minded is death" (Romans 8:6)

and...

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind..." (Romans 12:2)

Too many seem to believe it's the church that should be transformed to the way they think.That it's the church that should conform to this world.

The "god of this world" keeps pushing.Wether it's an attempt to crush the church or just to more easily identify his targets it matters little.However,pity those who are his instruments in the attempts.

Pray she realizes just how much of a favour the priest did her!
