    This guide provides instructions for when members of the congregation should sit, stand, or kneel during different parts of High Mass and Low Mass. At High Mass, the congregation typically stands when the priest processes in and out, kneels during prayers and the Eucharist, and sits or stands at other times such as the Epistle and Gospel readings. At Low Mass, there is more kneeling, including for the Gloria, Creed, and Communion. Local customs may determine some postures, as bodily postures were never fully standardized, and this guide aims to help attendees of the extraordinary form of the Roman rite.
