Remember, the Tabernacle will be empty, so, one does not genuflect upon entering the pew. One does bow to the Altar.
Assuming from this forum and the exact term for the liturgy, I’d assume that it’s a byzantine church, not roman–so you don’t genuflect in any event!
The Mass of the Pre Sanctified is held once each year, on Good Friday.
In the East, we fast from the Divine Liturgy during the week, having only the presanctified liturgy on Wednesday and Friday (and there
is the Institution of the Eucharist Liturgy on Holy Thursday).
I don’t see any reason why an Eastern rite liturgy would not be on topic for Liturgy and Sacraments.
It is, but the obvious confusion it caused . . . I immediately assumed it was Eastern!
I flagged it already, so we’ll see what the administrators decide
To make it even
more confusing, the Eastern presanctified liturgy used by Orthodox and EC was written by a pope!
[St. Gregory the Great]
And we
don’t have a presanctifed on Good Friday, but rather a 12 gospel reading at noon (a couple of hours), and a burial service/procession in the evening.
Generally, the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts occurs on Wednesdays and/or Fridays at the parish level, but it can occur on other days as well.
It would usually need a reason for any other day in Great Lent–it exists on those two days as an alleviation of the fast, as going
completely without is too much!
Do monasteries have a daily Liturgy of pre-sanctified gifts during Lent?
Not daily, but W and F, for the reasons above (and on certain other days, as noted by @Margaret_Ann.
