You don't come to that table just casually

You don't arrive at the most important meal like someone ordering coffee on the go. Communion is receiving Christ himself, and that deserves a minimum of preparation, not inertia or your head somewhere else. Preparing is not about getting anxious or never feeling "worthy." It is arriving in grace—confessing if needed—with a little silence and a real desire to receive him. The more open you go, the more fruit the same gift yields. These are not scruples or barriers: it is affection. You don't receive someone you love just any way; you make room for them. With Christ in the Eucharist, it is the same.
