Editor's note: This piece first appeared several months ago. We're running it again in light of the NFL's declaration that teams will face fines from now on if players kneel during the National Anthem. Among them were the tennis player Naomi Osaka and the footballer Thierry Henry. “Mikey, you can’t stop. You have to continue,” he says they told him. Upon hearing the name of the Gospel that is about to be read at Mass, the faithful use the ancient form of crossing themselves with three small crosses (Latin: tres cruces) using the thumb upon the forehead, the lips and over the heart. You may wish to add the following silent prayer when doing so: “May the Lord be on my mind, on my lips and in my heart.”

Instead, kneeling is almost always deployed as a sign of deference and respect. We once kneeled before kings and queens and altars; we kneel to ask someone to marry, or at least men did in the old days. We kneel to get down to a child's level; we kneel to beg. He continued: ‘Image the power of Donald Trump doing that and the impact that might have in one action. ‘I genuinely believe he could make an enormous difference.’ Excellent Value for money and didn't have to wait long for delivery would definitely recommend" (Steven B.) Speaking on Good Morning Britain earlier today he said: ‘Imagine if Donald Trump, rather than stirring the fire and pouring fuel on it, imagine if he came out the White House with those protestors and went down on one knee.’ 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 New Zealand 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.

In reciting the Agnus Dei (“Lamb of God”), we should strike the breast at the words “Have mercy on us.” 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. Top quality and very well made. Excellent print, very clear. The size is perfect fits me exactly how I like it. It’s also longer than most hoodies I have so overall just perfect. (Tim C.) 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? His knee unleashed a movement—and triggered a chain of events that culminated last week in the president of the United States calling a player who kneels a “son of a bitch.” Over the following days, dozens of NFL players—including entire teams—“took the knee” before their games. In response, crowds booed.It took considerable courage to program this work as the nation headed into the 4th of July celebration. This was the true “patriotic” counterpoint to the false populism of a supposed shared national identity that some citizens force on the country as they parade their sacred right to oppress other fellow citizens. The Revolutionary Era ideal of e pluribus unum—“out of many, one”—simply cannot be recalled uncritically anymore until some essential understanding is achieved that for many classes and races, that America has simply never existed. The most often used Catholic sign is crossing oneself. 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: 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. So when you disregard our plea to stop this killing in America at the hands of officers of the law,

One strikes at one’s breast three times during the Confiteor (“Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.”) During recent protests, a number of police officers have taken the knee to show their solidarity alongside those protesting. We stand as the celebrant says, “Pray brethren that our sacrifice…” and remain standing to respond, “May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands …” By transforming this ritual, the players woke us up. Our amygdalae activate as soon as our brains spot deviations from routine, social norms, and in-group tendencies. We want to know what’s happening and why. We need to know if the deviation poses a threat to us or our group. This may start to explain why so many Americans reacted with such fear and rage to a few athletes kneeling on the field in the midst of a national ritual. Since then, ‘taking the knee’ has been used as a silent gesture to protest against police brutality and racism at large.

What does it mean to kneel? What emotions and beliefs does this action communicate? Does your culture or group membership affect how you see gestures like kneeling?
