I will continue to kneel, whether or not a bishop orders me to.

By kneeling we offer deep reverence and devotion to our Lord, and Thanksgiving - for His most precious gift to us: the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar. It is most appropriate to kneel at these sacred parts of the Holy Eucharist, and to keep encouraging the faithful - to offer our Lord our Love and greatest respect✝️❣️

Why has it ever been questioned. We will be kneeling before Him at death and after death, If this is understood, kneeling before Him in this life is an eternal longing , and closeness His presence before during and after Mass

#RebuildMyChurch and force the smoke of satan out of our church. The modernist Cardinal that deliberately changed this reverence to receive on the hand is no longer on this earth. I pray he repented before he died. It is time to for Catholics to receive Jesus on the tongue again while kneeling at the Altar Rail. This is Jesus Christ's church, not the clergy to make such irreverent changes. I say this with all respect, but I say it boldly in #Truth.

If at the name of Jesus all knees shall bow, how much more should we bow at the sight of Jesus? The angel who appeared to the three children of Fatima prior to the Blessed Virgin Mary apeparing taught them to prostrate themselves in adoration to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. And we are being taught by the Bishop to stand?

Please reconsider; kneeling is a sign of reverence.

The Blessed Sacrament IS GOD! We should all be on our knees in adoration. Please reconsider this form of worship.

Kneeling is what Our Lord, King of kings, deserves during the Communion rite. To facilitate this reverence, all churches should immediately reinstate KNEELERS without which many faithful will not be able to kneel, as much as they would want to.

Dear Bishop Perez, The unity of posture should reflect the unity of the Faith of the faithful. There is no real unity within the Church, as many uphold and practice contraception, abortion, cohabitation, active homosexuality, so-called gay marriage, etc., with no direction or practical guidance to the contrary. You can come to Mass dressed like a prostitute and incite lust in the hearts of those around you and feel no shame. You can drop Christ on the floor while receiving Him and walk over the bits that fall off while returning to your seat with no respect or reverence shown Our Lord. Having everyone assume the same posture doesn't evangelize as much as seeing true reverence and respect for the Real Presence of Christ in our midst. As an example, our parish hosted youth from a local Protestant church whose minister wanted them to experience worship of other faiths. I am sad to say that those kids dressed and acted more reverent than most of those they saw in our pews. Having heard kids from other faith backgrounds, they have a hard time believing that's REALLY Christ on the altar and in the tabernacle. "I'd be on my face if that was really Jesus up there!" Something to think about. In closing, please allow the faithful who are led to kneel in reverence to do so, both as a witness and to glorify the God of the universe. Thank you.

We were blessed to join a pilgrimage to see the Eucharistic miracle in Santiago de Compastello. There, we were brought to our knees in honor and praise to our God. At each altar or crypt, we automatically bent our knee or knelt in prayer. Please allow the faithful to do the same.

Thank you for your consideration. Reverence is such a big part of our faith let us pray the way that best reflects it!
