Non serviam.
Philippians 2:10-11
Catechism of S. Pius X
How do we fulfill the First Commandment?
We fulfill the First Commandment by the practice of internal and external worship.
What is internal worship?
Internal worship is the honor which is given to God with the faculties of the soul alone, that is with the intellect and the will.
What is external worship?
External worship is the homage that is given to God by means of outward acts and of sensible objects.
Is it not enough internally to adore God with the heart alone?
No, it is not enough internally to adore God with the heart alone; we must also adore Him externally with both soul and body, because He is the Creator and absolute Lord of both.
Can there be external worship without internal worship?
No, in no way can there be external worship without internal, because unless external worship is accompanied by internal, it is destitute of life, of merit, and of efficacy, like a body without a soul.

I as an OMI priest and catholic , like most catholics have a deep love and devotion to the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist
ReplyDeleteI always knelt and genuflected and teach people to do so.
However, there is a great suffering in my life, because of a certain condition, I am no longer able make a full genuflection and neither can I kneel for long. Hence, I am obliged to bow profoundly and force myself to kneel for the time Im able to do so. The people know and understand this and it is a sacrifice for me that I offer and do my best to adore the Lord.
It is clear that our Holy Father, Pope Francis walks with a limp and suffers from sciatica and is no longer young.
Before condemning the Pope have you considered that for serious reasons he is unable to kneel or to genuflect ?
Im sure that the Holy Father does NOT REFUSE TO DO SO, BUT IS UNABLE TO DO SO.
We must be careful not to misjudge our Pope and condemn him without proper knowledge.
Think about it.
GOD BLESS,
