Converts have lost friends and family, but have gained the Truth through Holy Mother Church and it seems that they have a better appreciation for the Church and the True Presence than SOME cradle Catholics. Let us never tire of the Sacred Mysteries. We will appreciate them so much more if/when they are ever taken away from us as in ancient times.Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560483615460834385.post-46217518441821540512012-03-19T10:19:35.743-04:002012-03-19T10:19:35.743-04:00Where are my old altar rails!

Lord, I pray they will put them back...it is breathtaking to see people go up to kneel to receive together around the altar and stand back to wait your turn and for everyone to be so watchful so that not a crumb falls to the floor with paten under our chins. We take TIME for the Lord when we do this and REVERENCE. I hear more and more are coming back to doing this. I sure hope we do.

Unfortunately, we are an oddity in our parish where no one - literally no one - else genuflects at all. Even a genuf would be a start. I'm reading this to the kiddos in the morning - I think it will benefit them greatly.<br />Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307201478054611433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560483615460834385.post-21413388655065382872012-03-18T23:06:53.258-04:002012-03-18T23:06:53.258-04:00I'm still not able to 'touch the floor'...I'm still not able to 'touch the floor' with my new knee joint, but how wonderful it is to again be genuflecting...even if it's only a Genuf for right now.
