Before and after saying private prayer before and after Mass including personal devotions (e.g., the Rosary) and fulfilling the requirements of one’s penance We had decided not to make any designs to mark this occasion but we have had so many requests for a design like this (from Australian Veterans too), that we felt honoured to oblige. We are grateful to a few previous customers who had an input to what they wanted in the design, thank you. But from a psychological perspective, that political elucidation still doesn’t quite explain the specific inability of a majority of white football fans to interpret taking the knee according to universal human norms. And why would they take the misperception further, to actually see this humble posture as an act of aggression against America?

Since then, ‘taking the knee’ has been used as a silent gesture to protest against police brutality and racism at large. The word “kneeling” (Greek: proskynein) occurs 59 times in the New Testament — 24 in the Book of Revelation which represents the heavenly standard by which our earthly Mass is based. These are not the same as the thin, cheap, tea cloth rubbish you can buy elsewhere.

It is, in itself, a full and complete prayer. The sign of the cross is made by touching the hand to the forehead using the Trinitarian formula ( In the name of the Father) the sternum, ( and the Son) left shoulder ( and the Holy) and the right shoulder ( Spirit). According to the rubrics, congregants cross themselves:Close knit outside, and warm, soft, fleece facing inside - fantastic thermal layer that is warm as toast. Perhaps. Such a time seems very distant from where we are right now, as our society’s leaders foster racial antagonism and people cannot seem to recognize the emotion and belief behind even the gentlest of gestures. Changehappens, but it doesn’t happen all by itself. Sometimes, you need to kneel to conquer. Usain Bolt reveals his first experience of racism was not in his home country of Jamaica, but in Britain, when he made his first visit in his early 20s.
