It is important that you pray perfectly, not sing, chant, or perform perfectly. This is a vital distinction. Contrary to popular belief, your “perfection” is not to do all things without error, but to become fully who you are meant to be, or to engage in something as fully as you are able.

To pray perfectly, then, does not mean that you do so with precision, dead-on pitch and exact articulation, but in such a way that it truly involves your entire self, offering your heart, mind and body to God.

Singing and chanting prayer is but one way to move towards this goal.
