Do you know which knee you should genuflect on?
The word genuflect means to “bend”, as in flex, the knee. According to the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM), “a genuflection, made by bending the right knee to the ground, signifies adoration, an therefore is reserved for the Most Blessed Sacrament” (No. 274) The custom was approved formally by the Church in the early 16th century. www.catholic.org
