Stubborn Habits

I attended a mass in between the Christmas party for the elderly and the Mission Core Group of Couples For Christ. It’s advent and the new English translation of the Roman Missal is in full use. Its really so hard to get used to the new responses to the mass, I get messing up on my reply of “…and also with you” instead of the new “…and with your spirit”. This is no surprise actually because we are used to doing the responses as it is and so our minds sometimes needs time to adapt and make it the new habit.

It’s really hard to change age-old habits. A certain push coupled with determination is needed if we are to change. A new way of doing things has to be done repeatedly and consistently until such time that we get used to it.

Everyday is an opportunity to make some necessary changes, turning our bad habits into good ones. Let’s try to start practicing.
