As Catholics we are meant to be taught that during transubstantiation, the bread and wine turns into the body and blood of Christ the Eucharist. It is the "living" body of Christ, it is Christ himself. That is the gift Christ has given us; His real presence, and He gives us true life when we receive Him. So how important is the Eucharist? Pope Benedict XVI said: 'Without the Eucharist, the Church Simply Does Not Exist'
Forming the Individual
If you have come to the realization that when God is before you in Holy Communion and that they only appropriate way to receive Him is on your Kneels then do it! You have that right, no matter what anyone else tells in your parish.
Even if you are the only one in your parish to kneel, then be brave for it is for God.
It is because you believe that you kneel in gratitude before God (in the Eucharist). Have confidence that Saints did this before you and assuredly you will not be alone; for Christ speaks the truth and those who love Him and believes in Him will kneel before Him.
Forming the Communion with Others
Seek out friends and supporters of kneeling for Holy Communion. You may not be aware, but your parish council and even your priest maybe against kneeling for Holy Communion. Stand-fast, for whatever reasons they give you it will never trump your adoration to the Holy Eucharist. The truth is there for those who seek and adore Him. Truly you are not alone.
Evangelize Holy Communion
In your communion with others, evangelize the "Holy" Communion. It is fitting for our Lord. You know what it takes, evangelize it to others!
