A while back, I wrote about the practice of holding hands during the Our Father. Well, Fr. Z has chimed in on it. You can read about it here.
PS: It seems that he blog went down for a couple of hours earlier and deleted my last post on the corruption of the Social Justice Directors in the Catholic Church. Will repost it another time.

Liturgical Abuse or Just Not Knowing Any Better??
Over the last few months, as I have had the opportunity to travel to a number of different Catholic churches in both this Archdiocese and others, I have noticed two things.
During the Lord's Prayer, we seem to have large numbers of people who suddenly hold hands. Then immediately following, we seem to have a large number of people who hold up their hands, during the recitation of "For the Kingdom..."
Now, I don't remember learning this as a child and have only begun to see this about 20 years ago.
Anyone know where the "heck" this came from?
