Staging protests was a pretty counter-productive act

But it is so much more satisfying to the flesh than submission to legitimate authority and pray.

When Padre Pio was silenced by legitimate authority of his bishop, he was publicly silent and he prayed. Now the entire Church acknowledges his sanctity.

I am in no way comparing myself to Padre Pio, however I kneel on the floor when kneelers are not provided, I determine where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved and genuflect in that direction, I genuflect in line when going to receiving communion, I continue to pray.

I don't yell, I don't scream, besides one meeting with the Pastor to ask for kneelers I don't protest, I pray. I hope to see changes in the Church in my lifetime, however if I do not I know my prayers and my submission will have effect. An encouraging note is that more than 15 people knelt, at the Student Center, two Sundays ago.
