Sanctity and devotion

Attending Mass with Sarath's people the other day was a reminder of the sanctity of the ceremony. They were squatting on the floor and I was seated on a chair beside them. When it was time for the Consecration, they spontaneously knelt down - even though the place was very very congested! When I told them, to remain seated, since it was very difficult to kneel for all, they were not really very convinced of being seated!! It was then it struck me that they really knew the importance of the event and therefore their devotion. For me it was just another moment of another Mass of another day!!
