The Devil Has No Knees | Why Catholics Must Kneel Before God ~ Fr. Perricone

About this sermon

Why do Catholics kneel before receiving Holy Communion? Why did altar rails once stand in nearly every Catholic church? And what does kneeling reveal about our dignity as children of God? In this powerful sermon, we are reminded that no man stands taller than when he kneels before Almighty God. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the teachings of St. John Paul II, G.K. Chesterton, and the wisdom of the Desert Fathers, this sermon explores the profound meaning of kneeling in Eucharistic worship. From St. Peter falling to his knees before Christ, to Mary Magdalene weeping at the Savior's feet, to St. Thomas proclaiming "My Lord and My God," Catholics throughout history have understood that kneeling is the proper response before the King of Glory. The sermon concludes with a striking story from the Desert Fathers concerning Satan himself—a reminder of the eternal significance of humility, adoration, and submission before God. May this sermon inspire deeper reverence for the Holy Eucharist and a renewed appreciation for the sacred traditions of the Catholic Faith. 00:00 Introduction & Support Catholic Media 00:24 In the Name of the Father 00:34 The Blessing of the Altar Rail 01:22 Why Catholics Kneel Before God 02:00 G.K.
