The Liturgical Posture of Standing
By Bill Uhl
Have you ever wondered why we stand, sit, and kneel several times throughout the liturgy? Each of these liturgical postures carries great significance. Since standing is the first posture we assume when Mass begins, I’ll address it in this article. I’ll discuss sitting and kneeling in future articles. During Mass, we stand often. According to the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM), “The faithful should stand from the beginning of the Entrance Chant, or while the Priest approaches the altar, until the end of the Collect; for the Alleluia Chant before the Gospel; while the Gospel itself is pro-claimed; during the Profession of Faith and the Universal Prayer; and from the invitation, Orate, fratres (Pray, brethren), before the Prayer over the Offerings until the end of Mass” (n. 43). (In the United States, we may kneel after singing the Holy, Holy, Holy. We may also “sit or kneel during the period of sacred silence after Communion” [n. 43].) Standing not only links us to our ancient roots but also is an expression of hope. In The Spirit of the
Liturgy, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI presents both the historical aspects of standing and what it means for us today. Praying while standing was common in both Old Testament and Jesus’ times (194-95). For Christians, standing signifies victory: “Jesus stands in God’s presence—he stands because he has trodden death and the power of the Evil One underfoot” (195). Standing also signifies readiness: “Christ is stand-ing up at the right hand of God, in order to meet us” (195). What should our attitude be toward standing? “When we stand, we know that we are united to the victory of Christ, and when we stand to listen to the Gospel, it is an expression of reverence. When this Word is heard, we cannot remain sitting; it pulls us up. It demands both reverence and courage, when he calls us to set off in some new direction, to do his will and to carry it into our lives and into the world” (195). May Pope Benedict’s words inspire us. Whenever we attend Mass, may we stand reverently, pray for the courage to answer God’s call, and proclaim with hope, “I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.”

the Rosary" at Fatima. St. Francis de Sales said
“the greatest method of praying IS- Pray the Rosary”.
St. Thomas Aquinas preached 40 straight days on
just the Hail Mary in Rome Italy. St. John Vianney,
patron of priests, was seldom seen without a rosary in his
hand. "The rosary is the scourge of the devil" ~Pope Adrian
VI. "The rosary is a treasure of graces" ~Pope Paul V. Padre
Pio the stigmatic priest said: "The Rosary is
THE WEAPON". Pope Leo XIII wrote 9 encyclicals on
the rosary. Pope John XXIII spoke 38 times about our
Lady and the Rosary. He prayed 15 decades daily. St.
Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort wrote: "The rosary is
the most powerful weapon to touch the Heart of Jesus, Our
Redeemer, who so loves His Mother."
Pray the rosary daily !

Safe Environment
One of the most effective tools
we have to protect our
children and youth from those
who would do them harm is to
develop our listening skills.
We must learn how to listen to what is not said as
well as to what is said. If we monitor the nonverbal
channels of communication when listening to
others, we will develop into truly empathetic
listeners.
Una de las herramientas más efectivas, que tenemos
para proteger a nuestros niños y jóvenes de aquellos
que les pueden hacer daño, es desarrollar nuestras
habilidades para escuchar. Debemos aprender a
escuchar lo que no se dice, así como lo que sí se dice.
Si monitoreamos los canales de comunicación no
verbales cuando escuchamos a los demás, nos
convertiremos en oyentes verdaderamente
empáticos.
"The MASS"- A Lenten Journey
Walk through the Liturgy of the Mass with
Bishop Robert Barron of Word on Fire and be
transformed through insights on the
most privileged and intimate encounter with Our
Lord.
See how Mass brings us out of this fallen world
and into a heavenly realm, how it
revolves around a call from God and a
response from His people, The Church, and most
importantly, how we are intimately joined,
through His Sacrifice on the Cross, with the
Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ
in the Holy Eucharist.
Plan to join our parish family in a dynamic 6
part series during Lent (DVDs are less than 1/2
hour each) immediately following all weekend
Masses in the church sanctuary, beginning
March 9/10 through April 13/14.
Come with us on this special Lenten pilgrimage
that will provide a deeper understanding,
appreciation and love of the
Holy Eucharist- "the source and summit of the
Christian life."
