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?

On June 17 the Maronite Church commemorates the Prophet Amos, the first prophet to document the prophecies he received. The book of Amos is attributed to him. To learn more about this saint and some of his teachings, find the link in our bio. #Maronite #LivingMaronite #ProphetAmos #FeastDay #Saintoftheday A liturgical directive has been issued for the Maronite Church in 2019 for the communion of the Blessed Eucharist to be undertaken under the two species of the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. The faithful approach the priest for communion, bowing their heads reverently, signing themselves with the sign of the cross, receiving communion in their mouth and not on their hands. The priest will say “the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ...” and the faithful will reply “Amen”. This is in keeping with our liturgical norms of the Maronite Church Photos from #MarElisha Monastery. #Maronite #HolyValley #QadishaValley Photos copyrighted to Living Maronite. On the second Sunday of Pentecost, the Maronite Liturgy is devoted to the Holy Trinity. We sing in our opening hymn: Who can fully comprehend God as Holy Trinity? So great is this mystery far beyond our scrutiny! The Father, before all time, begot the Son, the Eternal Word. The Begotten Son took flesh from the holy Virgin’s womb. The Spirit was sent to give courage and perfect. All creation worships him, the Lord of all, in three persons, one true God.” In those eight lines is contained the totality of the theology of the Trinity. Read more at the link in our bio #maronite #liturgy #holytrinity We keep Sudan and Hong Kong in our prayers and we call for peace. On June 13, we commemorate an early female martyr, Saint Aquilina of Jbeil.
