Quote for Thought

 

     “Repetition has an honored place in Catholic piety. Just ask anyone who prays the rosary every day. Repetition helps them center. Repetition is also essential for celebrating the Eucharist, but it is the very quality that makes the Mass so difficult for teenagers especially to bear. They live in a fast world, and their minds and bodies are capable of extraordinary variety. Mass seems boring by
comparison. But repetition helps us enter the mystery. Our young people can understand this in other areas of life... If you want to play football, you have to practice the same things over and over... If you repeat maneuvers in sports, you get benefits you can’t get by doing something only once. Music comes alive under repetition. So does belief.”
     - Rev. Paul Turner, “Entering the Mystery,” in Pastoral Music, Oct./Nov. 2005, p.20
