So on that weekend, I usually don't kneel because I don't want to throw out my adjustment. Otherwise, I kneel.<br /><br />In the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, we are forbidden to kneel from Pascha to Pentecost inclusive. After 40 days of kneeling and prostrations during the Great Fast, you're about ready for 50 days of standing. ;-)<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-57646131126911617542017-04-11T08:31:28.093-07:002017-04-11T08:31:28.093-07:00Well gahlee!!

I think (hope) guitar Masses are nearly extinct, but they still try to keep it alive in this parish. Funny thing because it was hated and laughed at when it came in in 1966, and people still hate it now....except the radical liberal crowd.<br />I watched the two people, a man and a woman both in their late 40's probably, not genuflecting whenever they passed the Blessed Sacrament in the tabranacle. Instead, just a quick nod of the head or short bow.<br />When I got up to leave, I genuflected and blessed myself facing the tabernacle.....not in a Pharasitical way, as if to say :look how reverent I am", but just my everyday, normal expression of respect before the Blessed Sacrament. I thought the guy briunging in the microphones was going to puke right on the altar steps by the expression he gave me for genuflecting. Too bad that people like them feel that way. Fortunatly....they are much older than me, and a more respectful generation is coming to replace this aged, stale, Vatican II inspired generation. Including the Pope.<br />Damian MalliapalliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-92086758717891461042017-04-11T03:48:30.059-07:002017-04-11T03:48:30.059-07:00I think there was one event.I think there was one event.Tancredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015531337154301560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-66851728069635098512017-04-10T19:27:57.117-07:002017-04-10T19:27:57.117-07:00I have never seen him kneel to the Sacred Species....I have never seen him kneel to the Sacred Species.
