We keep doing these things over and over again on Sunday morning because we know that if we didn’t we might lose our love. In fact, those times when we don’t feel like it, when we really feel no deep attachment or desire to worship the Beloved, are the times we ought to be sure and worship…
We come feeling our relationship with God is weak and shallow; then, in the ritual, the singing, the words of Scripture, the familiar friends and setting, we go forth strengthened, having grown in our love.
