Father Leo discusses the often debated topic of what to do with your hands during the Our Father prayer at Mass. He unpacks the theological, liturgical, and pastoral perspectives behind common practices such as holding hands, using the Orans position, or keeping hands folded. Drawing from the General Instruction of the Roman Missal, he clarifies what is prescribed for the priest and what is optional for the laity. With humor and honesty, he shares his personal preferences and encourages viewers to align their external gestures with internal prayer. Ultimately, he emphasizes that what matters most is what the heart is doing during the prayer.
