 Yes. As one Cardinal 
recently stated... 
"The most 
respectful manner of receiving the Eucharist is kneeling and on the tongue. We 
must recover the respect and reverence that the Eucharist deserves, because the 
love of Jesus is the center of our Christian life. The soul is at stake." 
(Cardinal Juan Luis Cipriani) 
And as Scripture 
says... 
"Enter, let us 
bow down in worship; let us kneel before the LORD who made us." (Ps. 95:6) 
"In the name of 
Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under 
the earth" (St. Paul, Phil. 2:10) 
"I bend my knee 
to the Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, from whom all paternity in heaven and on 
earth is named" (St. Paul, Eph. 3:14-15)
