Why do Catholics Genuflect?
The Tradition of Genuflection Question: Why do Catholics genuflect? Answer: Genuflection is an act of devotion that literally means “to bend the knee.” For many Catholics, it’s an almost automatic gesture that we perform before entering our pew or row of seats at Mass. But, like many of the symbols and gestures of our faith tradi- tion, genuflecting can also be an invitation for deeper reflection. The practice of “bending the knee” is an ancient way of recognizing the presence of someone great- er than we are. It has been said that the practice dates back to the time of Alexander the Great, but it became a common part of etiquette in the royal courts of the Middle Ages. From throne rooms and palaces, it was a small step to genuflecting becom- ing part of the devotional lives of Christians, who used this secular gesture as a way of recognizing the presence of the One who is King of Kings, es- pecially in the Eucharist. Prayer for the defeat of evil, Today, Catholics are asked to genuflect in the pres- even in highest places: ence of the Blessed Sacrament (whether in the tab- ernacle or exposed on the altar during eucharistic adoration). So, while it has become second nature Prayer to St. Michael to genuflect before entering your seat in church, we the Archangel should pay attention to where the Blessed Sacra- ment is kept in each church or chapel that we visit, and genuflect in the direction of the tabernacle Pope Leo XIII (1810-1903; pope from 1878-1903) composed where the Blessed Sacrament is kept. In churches this prayer, which he ordered to be prayed after Low Masses; or chapels in which the tabernacle is in a separate this practice continued universally until 1964. In many space, we are invited to simply bow toward the al- parishes today, this powerful prayer is still prayed after tar. Mass. In addition to genuflecting before the Blessed Sac- rament, we are also instructed to genuflect before St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in the cross used for veneration on Good Friday battle; be our defense against the wickedness (during the solemn celebrations of the Lord’s Pas- and snares of the devil. May God rebuke sion) and any time a relic of the True Cross is dis- him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince played for veneration. This longstanding tradition is a way of honoring the cross as the great sign of of the heavenly host, by the power of God, our salvation and of showing devotion to the pas- cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits sion of Jesus. who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
