Liturgical Postures

Why do we extend our arms when praying the Our Father and at other times during the Maronite anaphora?

Why do we stand in the Maronite Liturgy of the Offering?

#maronite #joseph #fosterfather #livingmaronite On 14 December we celebrate the of Saint Nimatullah Hardini. We know that Father Nimatullah lived a holy life. He was a man of prayer, totally “enraptured by God”. He spent days and nights in meditation, prayer and adoration of the Eucharist. The Virgin Mary was his patron. His story is one of simplicity. Was was a humble, sensitive and patient person who lived his monastic vows of “obedience, chastity and poverty” to perfection. His fellow brother monks and the people who knew him called him “The Saint” while he was still alive. One of his students was Charbel Makhlouf (St. Charbel). In 1998, Pope John Paul II declared that Father Nimatullah “is an example of Christian and monastic life for the Maronite community and for all disciples of Christ today… He is a sign of hope for all Lebanese, particularly for families and young people.” This Sunday we hear the revelation to Joseph. We are all dreamers. The liturgy at the Prayer of Forgiveness reminds us that the divine revelation is also ours. The divine revelation that Joseph received dispelled his fear and the divine revelation we receive this Sunday should dispel our own fears and fills us with joy.
