Have you ever wondered why Catholics strike their chest at Mass?
In this eye-opening episode, we look into the ancient Biblical roots and deep spiritual meaning behind the gesture of striking the chest during the Catholic Mass.
What seems like a simple motion is actually a powerful act of contrition directly linked to biblical practices and teachings from early Church theologians like St. Augustine and St. Jerome.
You'll discover:
- The specific moments when striking the chest is prescribed in the Mass liturgy
- How this ritual connects to the story of the tax collector and Peter's denial of Christ
- Why the new Mass translation reintroduced the triple chest strike
- St. Augustine's interpretation of the gesture as bringing "hidden sins to light"
- How this practice spoken of in the Psalms is an "act of humiliation" before God
- Insights from St. Jerome on using it to "dispel evil thoughts and purify the heart"
Whether a lifelong Catholic or just curious about the "why" behind sacred rituals, this fascinating look at the history and theology of the chest-striking tradition will enrich your understanding.
Join host Julie South as she unpacks this deeply meaningful act of humility, repentance, and desire for God's forgiveness that continues in Catholic worship to this day.
