Kneeling During Creed at Christmas - Annunciation

[JohnR77]

By kneeling, as the Church requires, at the appropriate time when we profess the Incarnation of Jesus Christ during the Creed at Christmas and at the Feast of the Annunciation - Incarnation - we can worship our most glorious God in a way He deserves. It also helps us to focus on the foundation for the certainty for all that we believe. It also helps to focus on one of the most profoundly Pro-Life issues known to man, that is, that which was in Mary’s womb was not just a blob of tissue, but a real person, the Second Person of the Trinity. The greater miracle was not when He was born, but when He was conceived nine months before Christmas.

Very beautiful. Oddly enough, I was the only person to kneel at the Creed in my church this night. Was very awkward.

It’s best that we kneel during the creed to further the point that, yes, Jesus Christ became man. Kneeling gives us a more worthy posture to worship our Lord.

We should also BOW our heads in saying
the Apostles’ Creed DURING THE YEAR at
saying:“Jesus Christ, who was conceived
by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin
Mary”

Last night our priest reminded every one about genuflecting before Mass started. Good thing he did - I have trouble remembering day-to-day things, let alone something that’s done only once a year!

No, a profound bow, that is a bow from the waist, is the prescribed posture.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

For years I was the only one in our parish who bowed. Then all of a sudden, everyone was instructed (verbally - it was in the missalettes since forever) to bow. It’s nice to not be alone.

And a Merry Christmas to you, too!

The priest or Deacon instructs the people so that they know.

In the Ordinariate, the Missal booklets give the instruction to genuflect at the mention of the incarnation during the Creed at every Mass, following the tradition of the TLM.

Here in the US, in our Archdiocese we do it at every Mass. ( not at daily Mass, of course, since there is no creed, but at all others.)

It’s OF.

In the EF the kneeling is after “Descendit de coelis…” At the “ET HOMO FACTUS EST” the FSSP priest at my EF bows in addition. There is a slight pause in the singing before proceeding with the “Crucifixus…”
