Psalms 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Romans 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

We kneel because we are in the presence of God. It also shows our reverance towards Him. We kneel during the Eucharistic part of the Mass. We kneel prior to the start of Mass. We kneel after taking communion; we are supposed to pray during that time

You sit when they say a prayer and they sit because they pray and are obeying God. If you want to stand through the whole church you can if you want.

There are several times to be seated during mass. You have to go to one to find out when.

-Follow everybody else.

Roman Catholic AnswerIn the Novus Ordo (the Mass since Vatican Council II) you sit for the readings which are not the Gospel, for the psalm, for the homily, and for the preparation of the gifts. You are mostly seating for instruction in the faith, although you stand when the Gospel is read, out of respect for Christ's Gospel.

Do Roman Catholics sit when worshipping?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe main form of Worship in the Catholic Church is the Mass, which is the re-presentation of the Lord's Supper in which Our Blessed Lord gives us his Body and Blood. During the Mass we sit to be instructed (readings from the Old Testament and New Testament, except for the Gospel), and the homily (sermon) and while waiting for the priest to do things, like prepare the altar. We stand to pray, to sing, etc. And finally, during the Canon of the Mass, when Jesus arrives on the altar, we kneel in adoration.
