Have you ever wondered…

why healthy, able people refuse to kneel at the rail to receive our Lord in the Eucharist?
They have no issue with lining up with their hands out but avoid kneeling at the rail to receive our Lord on the tongue. I can totally understand no kneeling if there isn’t a kneeler present (with my knees and age someone would have to lift me up off the floor). Yet two steps over one can kneel at the rail, raise their face to heaven, and receive our Lord on the tongue. I remember doing the line when it was almost forbidden to kneel but now when available I kneel. I kneel because this God/man deserves my respect, deserves my submission to him as King, deserves preferential treatment, deserves my acknowledgment that He is far above me in importance.

Contrary to apparent popular opinion we are not on the same level with God. It must pain him to be treated with such disregard for his holiness, his sacrifice, his power.
