So tell me Bishop, what part of "Kneel to receive the Eucharist" don't you understand?

The Holy Father has demonstrated his desire for all who are able, to kneel and for all, (without exception) to receive the Holy Eucharist direct by mouth.
This has been the practice at St Peter's and at Masses celebrated by Pope Benedict wherever he is in the world.

Yet we still have Archbishops, Bishops and priests failing to comply. It is not the sort of instruction that needs putting in writing...the model is there for all to see! Why don't they instruct their priests and get on and do it?

Now, the Holy Father has gone a step further. He has actually said that this is the correct way to receive the host,  the Body and Blood of Christ.

Here are his very words.....



Just do it - please!



"He who is able to kneel before the Eucharist, who receives the Lord's body cannot fail to be attentive, in the ordinary course of the days, to situations unworthy of man, and is able to bend down personally to attend to need, is able to break his bread with the hungry, share water with the thirsty, clothe the naked,
visit the sick and imprisoned," he continued....
