3 Reasons to Genuflect...
Last Sunday, we talked about 3 reasons to genuflect to the Tabernacle when you enter the Church. To summarize:
1. We humble ourselves before Our Lord and God!
2. In Medieval times, knights would kneel before their king pledging themselves to a life of service to him. As Christians, we too pledge ourselves to a life of service to the King of kings ~ Jesus Christ!
3. When we genuflect, we do so out of love and respect and we are telling Jesus, we love Him so much that we want to spend our whole life w/ & for Him ~ in fact we are willing to lay down our life for Him.
Who knew genuflecting said so much? The next time we genuflect ~ remember what it is that we are saying...
