Entering the final five days of my Marian Consecration renewal

[JesusLovesOurLady]

Hey everyone,
I'm entering the final five days of Fr. Michael E. Gaitley MIC's 33 Day Marian Consecration preparation. I'm entering the final five days, after which, I'll renew my Consecration to Jesus through Mary, on the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. Please pray that these final five days our good and fruitful.

Also, I don't think I need prayers for this bet, I'm now working up the courage to receive Communion while kneeling, I won't go into details but, something at mass spurred me to start working on that. So far, I've only managed to kneel, while next-in-line to receive Communion I haven't yet worked up the courage to receive Communion while kneeling, but hopefully I will some day.

I take it your parish doesn't have an altar rail?

I completely understand the desire to kneel. So at the risk of getting into your business, are there any FSSP or ICRSS parishes near you? Those usually have altar rails. I think altar rails are pretty common in Anglican Use parishes as well.

I don't know much about the Eastern Catholic parishes but my assumption altar rails are used there too.

Either way, good on you for the Marian consecration.

Sadly, I don't have any FSSP or ICRSS parish near by.

I would hope not - we do not have altar rails - and we Receive the Eucharist standing - on Sundays kneeling is penitential and is not permitted as Sunday is a Resurrection Day

Seems like this is what I get for assuming.

Kneeling before the Eucharist is intended as an outward gesture of respect for Jesus since the Eucharist is Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords, and since that's who we are encountering in the Eucharist. Penance for our sins is supposed to happen before we walk up to receive Holy Communion.

"Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." - Philippians 2:9-11
