It's very distracting to have someone talking slowly and disturbing one's prayer, or giving "meaningful thoughts" in the middle of a devotion when you're trying to keep imagery in mind. <br /><br />I mean, that's the whole story of the EF, isn't it?

Irish people have a great problem with saying prayers together in time ( I notice this is the New Rite of Mass), they did not get much practice with the Dialogue Mass. I also think that many Irish people have a very "gritted teeth" view of their faith - they speak of Shaun Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884286568978407343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-27009730248358533102021-02-27T12:29:18.954+00:002021-02-27T12:29:18.954+00:00Marvelous piece, Father.
