Bring Back the Altar Rails ........

Bring back the Altar Rails, we are receiving Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.  We should kneel (once we are able physically to do so) for our Lord and Creator.  He is the one who came down from Heaven to us, to suffer and die for us.  Reflect on Who it is you are receiving and on the indescribable suffering He went through for each of us.  He has given us the gift of His Holy Presence in the Most Blessed Sacrament. To restore reverential respect for the Holy Sacrament, I would say that it is important that we return to kneeling and receiving Christ on the tongue.  We have become too casual and I can't imagine what the Saints must think of us and how we receive the Lord of all Creation in many of our Churches today...but in the picture below it shows how it should be....
