"Today one really only sees Catholics kneel in Poland. If you have been to Poland, you know exactly what I mean. Everybody enters a church and kneels. When they pray, they kneel. Bishop Sheen always said that half the daily Holy Hour in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament ought to be kneeling in silent prayer. Let your kids see you kneeling at home in prayer. Bring your kids to the Extraordinary Form where they can learn to keel in prayer, and kneel to receive blessings."Remember a while ago my post about the theory that the devil "doesn't have knees"? It makes me want to bow to our Lord every chance I get.

Oh, thank you for this . . . always learning!
When our priest first came to our parish, one of the first things he did was have kneelers installed at the foot of the altar so that the option was there for the faithful to receive Holy Communion on their knees. I almost cried, I was so happy. A year and a half later, we are blessed to watch our children default to this form of receiving our Lord each week.
I don't know if I read your post about your theory, but I think I'd be inclined to agree that the Devil doesn't have knees!
