Assuming you've also gone to confession, you should have no problem taking communion. If in doubt, talk to your priest, though.

You faulted for divorcing your wife.For that you should go to confession. The church does not support divorce in any way. You can still take communion since it is the church that annuled the marriage.

You said your marriage was annulled. That means, in the eyes of God, there was no marriage as adjudicated by His Church, the Catholic Church. Since there was no marriage, there can be no divorce. So the remark in another response of "the church does not support divorce in any way" is one, not true; and two, non-sequitur to your situation. One can not obtain a divorce if one was never married in the first place. The Church does support civil divorce for grave reasons to provide legal separation of the spouses. The spouses are still married in the eyes of God, and therefore may not attempt another marriage. Also, as Catholics we RECEIVE Jesus (communion), we do not TAKE Jesus (communion).

Of course. Nothing you have said would bar you from receiving the sacrament of the Eucharist (Communion). If it has been a while you will probably want to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession). With love in Christ.

Communion is between you and the Lord no one shall tell you , you cannot commune with God no church no person, noone. That is a personal thing for you and him. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. You are forgiven the minute you asked. In God's eyes , He does not even remember the divorce. Go on and commune with God.
