In a very large crowded church the veneration would have to start very early in the day and there would be a rush for the front pews. Unless you are referring to something like three genuflections on two knees when nearing the Cross. During my visit to Rome in 1950 I climbed La Scala Santa on my knees. It seemed the dear old ladies ahead of me were praying five decades of the Rosary on every step and were reluctant for a then, young impatient sprite, to overtake them. Was I relieved when I reached the top! |
