Eucharistic Prayer

philjane:

I live in a parish where most people stand for the consecration----I kneel because i believe that Jesus comes on the altar & we all should kneel at that moment. At daily mass, most people kneel for the consecration but there are a few who stand & if they are standing for solidarity–it is not working because they should do what the majority do & at daily mass it would be to kneel–

Kneeling is the norm in the US. When I was in Montreal a few years ago, I went to daily Mass to different parishes every day and kneeling was the norm there, too.

I loooovvved Montreal. It’s a little bit of Europe within driving distance.

compare it to the states… my opinion= the states seem better than montreal( after all lots of things happened over the years ) did you ever go to St.John brebeuf parish in la Salle? Or did you stay in the city of montreal( like where all the building were etc). I go to St.John Brebeuf parish in lasalle. We stand there(well most of the people)

Podo the hobbit
P.S I wished i lived in the states

Offtopic but with so many topics on the Eucharist, I don’t feel like creating another topic.

Anyway, I was on one parish website and they explained that they will now stand from the time the priest takes communion until EVERYONE receives communion. This parish is pretty liberal…is this becoming the ‘norm’ or what? What’s that all about??? :bigyikes:

Actually, this practice is approved in the GIRM. I don’t particularly like it, because for me, kneeling after Communion is the only way I can pray. Did it once - at a Diaconate Formation Mass. I haven’t yet visited a parish that instituted it.
