Reproached

Tonight's lecture on the role of music in the liturgy and the role of musicians during the mass virtually turned into a homily of sorts. During the long discussion that ensued, the speaker lamented how Catholics in general made little effort in truly understanding the Word of God and took the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass rather lightly. With that I suddenly became painfully conscious of my shortcomings as a Catholic and, despite being a regular church goer, how far I was from being the devout Catholic I thought I was.
