eagle_eye222001 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Churches look really nice with altar rails. They add a reverent attitude to the place and remind us of the importance that is due to the Real Presence. ---------------- Now playing: [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/norbertine+fathers+of+st.+michaels+abbey/track/tract+-+qui+confidunt"]Norbertine Fathers of St. Michael's Abbey - Tract - Qui Confidunt[/url] via [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/"]FoxyTunes[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeniteAdoremus Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Until the moment, when suddenly you realise... There is no altar rail. The only one kneeling is yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeresaBenedicta Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 When I'm home, I will often go to this Dominican priory that is near me.... they have an altar rail and everyone kneels at it to receive. Funny enough, I think communion actually goes [i]faster[/i] with altar rails than without. Not that that's the point... But, the churches I normally go to (my home parish, and then various chapels here on campus) don't have kneeling rails and no one kneels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I don't like altar rails. They just remind me how disabled I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman82 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Yes, we have an altar rail. No, Communion is not distributed at the altar rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philothea Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I can tell I'm traveling too much when I'm not even sure which my "regular" church is... The one I decided on does have an altar rail, but communion is not distributed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeniteAdoremus Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 My non-regular church (the one I go to when I'm stuck in the centre of Amsterdam) has and uses communion rails, and the pillows are so plush... I want to kneel there forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel*Star Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I think our pastor is looking into getting an altar rail. However, as he says, You don't just pick one of those up at Wal-Mart. Give em time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resurrexi Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 I have to wonder why the existing altar rails in some churches aren't used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
