Meetings hopefully bring about progress that will lead to more effective ministry within parishes, and celebration of the Eucharist is central to our faith, not to mention a joy and a privilege for priests. Priests are not allowed to take any risks like sky diving or bunji jumping. Priests have to listen to boring music. Priests, like everybody else, have their likes and dislikes. Singing songs of praise is an important part of our faith tradition.
Priests have to memorize a lot of prayers.
The recitation of prayers is also an important part of our faith tradition. It is through our prayer that we deepen our relationship with the Lord Jesus. We do need to memorize certain prayers, such as the Our Father and the Hail Mary, among others, but the more we say them, the more the words become part of us. Although we need to know these prayers, at times it will be appropriate to pray using our own words. The most important thing is that we enter into an intimate relationship with our God, no matter what words we use.
