What a great article! I had never thought about the meaning for bending on oneâs knee at mass and how it is related to doing the same action for a proposal. It shows great respect, honor, and giving of oneself to the other. Getting down on one knee is a simple act but has great meaning, and hopefully it never fades. Paul, in Corinthians and Epistles, says in various ways that the groom is like Christ, and the bride is like the impure church whom Christ purifies.
