It is recommended a minimum of one-hour fasting before communion. No need for suffering...

My wife and I have a compromise: I can take the kids to church, but not force them to go. So, they only go by their own volition. It comes and goes. But, I believe it is better this way. Hopefully, from my part, they will eventually get why I go and follow me.
Still, I once scared the sh*t of my older boy when I answered that "I go to mass to die" (which is true). I should be more careful with my words. He wasn't much convinced even when I told him that "but we never do. We always come back alive. That's the 'Good News'!"
