Bowing at the mention of Jesus’ name is an old practice that has since fallen into wide disuse
Msgr. Charles Pope June 10, 2018
Question: I was taught to nod my head when the name of Jesus was spoken. I see some priests and congregants do it, but not most. What is the current practice? — Diane Garrett, via email
Answer: Liturgically it is not required. This is a pious custom that, while less common today, is still observed by many. This is not only in the liturgy, but at any time the name of Jesus is uttered, and also, quite commonly, the name of Mary. In the traditional Latin Mass, where clergy wear birettas (a kind of square hat with a pom), there is the additional tipping (lifting off) of the biretta at the names of Jesus, Mary and the saint of the day. This external and very visible action also helped the faithful remember to bow their heads.
This laudable custom has sadly declined. Some clergy and others still observe it, and, while it is not required, it is worthy of being encouraged. Other customs too should not be forgotten, such as making the Sign of the Cross when passing a Catholic Church, praying the Angelus at noon and 6 p.m., and so forth. The generations raised in the 1960s and ’70s largely abandoned such practices. However, many of their children have rediscovered some of these lost customs like a precious heirloom brought down from the attic. Thus, while being careful not to harshly judge those who do not follow this non-required custom, many can joyfully take it up again and encourage others to do so.
It’s your language usage that I don’t understand.
Then replace 'it' with 'He'.
I used 'it' for a reason.
I've never seen pronouns capitalized except for referring to Jesus; and that was AFTER He appeared on earth.
So; my question still is;
"Was the second person of the Trinity a SPIRIT before ________ (use your own term here) took on human flesh?"
Remember that the Creator (or whatever He was called before being born by Mary) created human flesh on the sixth day, and used the dust of the earth.
Well done; Grasshopper!
Nay; a Band of Brothers
Except, that grasshopper is not a brother. 😁🤣
You jumped at the chance to type this!
I did indeed sir. 🤣😆😁 By the way, I have to type this all with one finger, as I very rarely ever get on my Mac anymore. I use my IPhone X, almost exclusively, and about the only time I ever get on the Mac, is to do only one thing. 😁😆🎸
I guess maybe this thread seems to be winding down. I've learned a lot from it, as always. Some of you guys must stay up all night to make these limericks, eh?
Organic dust?
Why not?
Elsie, Boatbums and me, are just naturals. 😁 While most people in America, are snoring away peacefully, I am wide awake, in stealth mode, plotting my next perfidious Limerick. 🤣
By the way, I don’t think the Lord needs to rebuke you either. 😊
Why?
While SOME of us might stay up all night;
Too be inspired by the breaking of light;
The rest of us fly;
With a gleam it the eye;
Typing fast: rhyming is such a delight!
Or something like that.
It's always baffled me how Evolutionists can take inorganic stuff and somehow come up with organic.
Must be a miracle!

While sometimes appearing quite hideous,
Be assured that Ol’ Mark is perfidious.
But most of the time,
He DOES manage to rhyme;
Making light of things oh so invidious.

I also slipped THIS into the TABLE command: bgcolor=yellow
He already has, in more ways than you can imagine, even as a CO. I'm just grateful that He has permanently forgotten those occasions. In time, perhaps I may also.
