Genuflection

On entering and leaving the church building it is customary to face the Tabernacle and make a genuflection (touching the right knee to the floor or ground in worship or reverence; or, a profound bow if necessary) as a sign of our belief that Jesus Christ is truly present Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. Genuflection also serves as a reminder of our Baptism. Falling on our knee symbolizes our death to sin and our standing, the rising to new life in Jesus which is completed and made perfect each time we receive the Holy Eucharist.

Lord Jesus Christ,

You gave us the Eucharist as the memorial of your suffering and death. May our worship of this Sacrament of your body and blood help us to experience the salvation You won for us and the peace of the kingdom where You live with the
Father and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever.
Amen.

A REMINDER: It is now the custom in the United States of America that we make a profound bow of our body (not a nod of the head) before we receive the Body of Christ and again before we receive the Blood of Christ. This act of reverence is an outward sign to remind ourselves of our belief that Jesus is truly present in the Most Holy Eucharist.

"The Catholic Church has always offered and still offers the cult of Latria to the Sacrament of the Eucharist, not only during Mass, but also outside of it, reserving Consecrated Hosts with the utmost care, exposing them to solemn veneration, and carrying them processionally to the joy of great crowds of the faithful." Mysterium Fidei, September, 1965, Pope Paul VI.

"The Church and the world have a great need of Eucharistic worship. Jesus waits for us in this Sacrament of love. Let us be generous with our time in going to meet him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world. May our adoration never cease." Dominicae Cenae, Pope John Paul II.

"But when the water is mingled in the cup with wine, the people is made one with Christ, and the assembly of believers is associated and conjoined with Him on whom it believes & nothing can separate the Church that is, the people established in the Church, faithfully and firmly persevering in that which they have believed from Christ, in such a way as to prevent their undivided love from always abiding and adhering."- St. Cyprian
