Funny, never saw that in a Catholic Church or any services from the Vatican, etc. Perhaps you should send them a note to read scripture? They’re obviously not in the know.
There are “charismatic Catholic” congregations... do they do this? I dunno, I travel in Crazy Evangelical circles, aka pesky Protestant.
“Theyre obviously not in the know.”
The RC denomination doesn’t have scriptural support for half of what they do... nor do they do what they are supposed to do many times. That will not change.
Its obvious that they do not consider themselves bound to no add nor subtract from it.
Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. (Psalms 28:2)
Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. (Psalms 63:4)
Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord. (Psalms 134:2)
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. (Psalms 141:2)
That said, i myself do no feel too comfortable doing so.
1 Timothy 2:8 NIV
Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.
