My company relocated from NYC to Winston-Salem, NC. My family is with me, my wife Ellie and 4 children, we are Catholics and were taken back a little by the orans and holding hands during the Our Father (thought I was at an AA meeting šŸ˜‰ . So I found this site and it answered my question beautifully. Nothing wrong with it but it is not part of Catholic liturgy. But I did notice that everything else is just about the same. During Holy Communion I am home for sure. The look in the peoples eyes are from prayers and faith. That I am sure of, but no orans or holding hands during the Lords Prayer for us. But we love ā€¦ and understand someone trying to do something a little special, but thats what the Bishops are for.

It is among Eastern Catholicsā€“that is, the orans position during the Lordā€™s Prayer.

I donā€™t like the hand-holding either. Never have. I also donā€™t like the hand gestures the laity makes to greet the priest and at other times during the mass. I also donā€™t like excessive music. Itā€™s distracting, especially when itā€™s on the ā€˜wild sideā€™ and poorly done. He who sings might pray twice, but what about he who sings badly, or even disrespectfully by singing raucous music? šŸ¤·
