Most of the time, I sing for the Easter Vigil mass as part of my church choir but this year, we did not. It taught me to treasure what I have at the very moment for it may not last forever. It is a privilege for us to be able to sing for the Easter Vigil but it took this deprivation to learn it. Oh well, the hard way is usually the more effective way to learn something. To our critics, lo and behold.
In light of being part of the congregation for a change, I found myself having problems focusing and trying to focus during the mass. I guess having to discipline myself when singing at mass helps A LOT in focusing. So technical emphasis DOES lead to spiritual focus at mass, to our critics out there. I did dispute this statement before but my return served to only make this long dominant truth more apparent to me. I learnt it through hands-on experience for the second time round and my eyes as well as heart were opened. Period.
