"And also with you" Gesture

[LilyM]

You are not suppose to add any posture or gesture to the liturgy. It doesn’t matter how you feel, it isn’t suppose to be done.
If I feel that laying prostrate on the ground or shorkling for the Our Father feels right, those gestures would not be allowed either.

I still get a giggle from the word shorkling … for some bizarre childishly immature reason

All of the above gestures are precribed for the laity in other Vatican documents. The “small sign of the cross” is also directed for the gospel according to the USCCB

“Gestures too involve our bodies in prayer. The most familiar of these is the Sign of the Cross with which we begin Mass and with which, in the form of a blessing, the Mass concludes. Because it was by his death on the cross that Christ redeemed humankind, we trace the sign of the cross on our foreheads, lips and hearts at the beginning of the Gospel.”
