A mortal sin is any sin whose matter is grave and which has been committed willfully and with knowledge of its seriousness. Out of habit and out of fear of what those around them will think if they do not receive Communion, some Catholics, in a state of mortal sin, choose to go forward and offend God rather than stay in the pew while others receive the Eucharist. You must have been to confession since your last mortal sin. The requirement for sacramental confession can be dispensed if four conditions are fulfilled:

* there must be a grave reason to receive Communion (for example, danger of death), * it must be physically or morally impossible to go to confession first, * the person must already be in a state of grace through perfect contrition and * he must resolve to go to confession as soon as possible.

There are a few websites that offer personalized Holy Communion Invitations where you can add your own text, typestyle, ink color and then preview before you buy, like Announcements-Shoppe, Express-Invitations and Cards Shoppe.
