Interesting directive from the pope. I am, by the way, a Catholic mom visiting Hawaii (leaving tomorrow morning, though). I am new to Catholicism, however, so all of this is eye-opening. What does the Pope say about people incapable of kneeling -- bad knees, wheelchair bound, etc.?
It will be interesting to see if this will actually start to happen in the United States.. I am fine with it but really wonder how many parishes will actually listen.. should be interesting:)

Hope you enjoyed your stay on our islands Elizabeth.
I am sure the Holy Father does not expect those who are unable to kneel, to kneel.

I received Holy Communion on my knees for the first time when I was in NJ. I really loved the reverence.
