An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭
Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

I remember reading somewhere that only the presiding priest is supposed to raise his hands during the lord's prayer, however, I never saw anything definitive about what the lay people are supposed to do with their hands. There were various practices that have taken hold across different catholic traditions: one of which is what we do here, nakiki-raise hands din tayo, lol!
I am not sure if this is only for his diocese or if it's to be adopted for all the catholic churches here in the Philippines (as well as catholic churches serving the Philippine diaspora all over the world). This is probably one of the things the CBCP should be releasing a statement on, tbh.
I for one, if I ever attend a mass, would continue observing what everyone around me is doing and acting accordingly—as I've always done in that kind of a situation.
I need to be updated with these if ever I end up on a church again. Yung "and also with you" nga nagulat ako wala na, haha.
"and with your spirit" na ata. I rarely go to church so I get surprised if things change too.
