Lord of all, we kneel before you

H/T to Tim Drake, whose record of what was said is below.

Also take a look at Fr Z’s blog. He says:

“I think something like this needs some care to preserve proper reverence for the Blessed Sacrament.  I am not sure how this squares with liturgical law, involvement with the local bishop, etc.

But… if those things can be worked through…

Does this fit with the New Evangelization?

Is this what we need to do?”

What do you think? Is this a valid way of bringing Our Lord back into the marketplace? If not, what would you suggest?

And here’s another question. In a world that ignores religion, that scoffs at believers, that misrepresents what Catholics believe, would you kneel if you had been in that mall? If not, why not?

Here’s what the narrating priest was saying:
