and pardons sin for the remnant of his inheritance...
To respond to this invitation we must prepare ourselves
for so great and so holy a moment. St. Paul urges us to examine our
conscience: "Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the
Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and
blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread
and drink of the cup. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning
the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself." Anyone conscious of a
grave sin must receive the sacrament of Reconciliation before coming to
communion.
-- CCC 1385
