Re 48766

When I was still a RC I remember Cardinal Cushing saying the Rosary. He could mumble his way through the whole thing in mere seconds. The fact that there was no time for any human to meditate at that speed is meaningless to you isn't it?

Reggie, you don't get it. It is not the words one is meditating on. Not at all.

I spend a lot of time contemplating his word, the history of man, and how awe struck i am at his Genius as an inventor.

Contemplating, good.

If she memorized a long phrase and repeated it so fast you couldn't hear what she said, how long would that please you?

Using repeated prayers to aid meditation, bad.
