puellapaschalis Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I read the question to mean: "Do you drink anything other than water just before Mass?" to which my answer is "No". I try to fast even from water before Mass unless I'm in real need of the hydration. Love and prayers, PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKolbe Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 i think i am just a little slow and did not understand the question.. i DO think something about drinking water before Mass. i think you shouldn't... i mean an hour before...unless you gotta take meds or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarcisius Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I drink water up until Mass. There is and never has been anything wrong with drinking water. Just dont drink anything else, eat, or chew gum, for as long as possible beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureSoror Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 When I am singing in the choir, I have water with me and periodically drink it during mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franimus Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 i'm still lost as to the real meaning of this question.. I refrain from drinkin water during the fast unless I'm parched.. If I were a choir member or the priest (during those long homilies..) I would drink water during Mass then. Ever hear the story about the substitute/new preacher who kept a glass of vodka at the pulpit for when he got parched during the sermon? The old preacher sent him a list of corrections.. I can't remember them all, but they included "David did not bet his ass off; he wagered his donkey" and other similar things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prose Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I drink water. But it is acceptable to drink other things if for medical reasons. ie. juice for diabetes, or if you are pregnant, any fasting doesn't apply (or at least that is what several priests have told me).

clg01 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I think i threw the poll of a bit. I read the question wrong or something.... I'm not sure. I marked 'Yes' when I meant to mark 'NO'. I think the question is asking if you drink anything other than water before mass. I only drink water and that's only when I'm thirsty or have to take medicines. We should be free of mortal sin, have a clear conscience through prayer, and observe the period fasting before mass....unless in elderly age or having to drink water. God Bless!

Resurrexi Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I eat and drink whatever I want before Mass if I'm not recieving Communion. If I am recieving, though, I don't eat or drink anything from the midnight before or from 3 hrs before depending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeniteAdoremus Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I don't drink anything but water before Mass. I fast completely for an hour if I go to the 11.15 mass or if I'm serving (or I will drop over during the Gospel, which just isn't phun), and if I go to the 10.00 I'll fast the entire morning, except water. Oh, and if I've been to an all-night vigil I'll have crazy amounts of breakfast. But I try to do it up to an hour before Mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 i do drink water before Mass, but i cannot hold to the one hour fast rule now that i'm pregnant. i try, but most often i can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaidoh Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 I'm sorry I ment to type. "Do you fast everything but water a hour before Mass?" I guess its to late now. I'm asking cuz its school thinks juice is fine a hour before Mass. The fast rule seems to of just started here. I do not know why it just started now and not years ago.

[/quote] strange isn't it The Code with the current regulations has been in force since 1983 Can. 919 §1 Whoever is to receive the blessed Eucharist is to abstain for [b]at least one hour before holy communion[/b] from all food and drink, with the sole exception of water and medicine. Of course you can abstain for as long as you like but the law says 1 hour BEFORE H.C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
